All of the teens were in the home when investigators searched the home, the Sheriff's Office said.
In addition to the five arrests, an 18-year-old Detroit man who was also in the home was taken into custody on outstanding warrants.
Investigators are also still looking for another 16-year-old in connection with the robberies, the Sheriff's Office said.
The teens were taken to the Macomb County Juvenile Justice Center. All are expected to face formal charges on Wednesday.
