SHELBY TOWNSHIP, Mich. – Police are looking for a Texas man who was extradited to Michigan and reportedly cut off his tether after posting bond.
He was extradited to Michigan in April to face charges for his alleged role in the theft of a truck and the failed theft of an ATM in Shelby Township.

It happened in September 2024 at a credit union off 23 Mile Road, near Hayes Road. The Shelby Township Police Department said surveillance footage captured two men wearing black clothing in a Ford F-250 attempting to steal an ATM before leaving in a different vehicle.
Police said they were able to identify the getaway vehicle as a rental out of Texas.
Responding officers found the Ford in the parking lot and identified it as stolen out of Shelby Township. Police said they found burglary tools at the scene that they tracked to local stores, which had surveillance footage of the suspects buying the tools.
Three possible suspects from Texas were identified.
Two days after the attempted ATM theft, the suspects reportedly were pulled over by police in Arkansas and had their identities confirmed. Warrants were approved by the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office for three suspects.
The suspected driver, Keith Collins, was arrested in Texas and was extradited to Michigan. Collins was charged on April 17 with safe breaking, receiving and concealing a motor vehicle and malicious destruction of property over $1,000.
He was given a $50,000 bond and was ordered to wear a GPS if he was able to post bond. Five days later, he reportedly cut off his tether and his location is unknown.
