The Detroit Crime Commission is leading the push for tougher scrap metal laws in Michigan.

Executive Director Andrew Arena Spoke with FOX 2's Robin Murdoch Friday and said he plans to travel to Lansing next week to present his research to lawmakers, hoping to persuade them to stiffen the laws.

"It's kind of the circle of death. It's violent; it's blight; it's scrapping; it's illegal dumping; and it's destroying the city of Detroit," says Arena.

Arena says he sent a letter to every Michigan lawmaker pleading the case.
