Mount Clemens, MI – Three Detroit men are facing charges after an investigation into a string of high-end vehicle thefts across Macomb County led to their arrests last week.

According to the Macomb County Sheriff’s Office, the Macomb Auto Theft Squad (MATS) has been investigating thefts at vehicle manufacturing assembly plants over the past year. Detectives allege the suspects stole multiple luxury vehicles at one time from facilities throughout Macomb County and other areas in Michigan.

The suspects were identified as Leondre Jones, 21; Lemel Watley-Neely, 25; and Jayvon Williams, 33, all of Detroit. They were arraigned September 19, 2025, at the 37th District Court in Warren on charges of Conducting a Criminal Enterprise.

Court records show Jones received a $400,000 cash/surety bond with a GPS steel cuff tether required upon release. Watley-Neely’s bond was set at $500,000 with the same tether conditions. Williams was issued a $750,000 bond, also requiring GPS monitoring.

As of Monday, all three remain lodged at the Macomb County Jail pending further proceedings. Authorities have not disclosed how many vehicles were allegedly stolen or the estimated total value of the thefts.
