(CBS DETROIT) - Two men from Florida accused of breaking into vehicles in Metro Detroit have been charged.

Danarious Young, 28, and Chauncey Javon Franklin, 21, were each charged with 10-count warrants for breaking and entering a vehicle and conspiracy, according to the Troy Police Department.

The Troy Special Investigations Unit and Shelby Township Investigations Unit began looking into three suspects accused of larceny targeting vehicles outside of daycare and fitness centers.

Police arrested Young and Franklin last week; however, the third suspect fled from authorities and ran onto M-59 near Livernois Road in Rochester Hills where she was fatally struck

The 42-year-old driver who hit the woman failed to stop but later turned himself in to the Oakland County Sheriff's Office. He told investigators he thought that he hit debris until he heard a woman was struck.

The sheriff's office is investigating the crash.
