Group Caught Stealing 16 New Ford Bronco Raptors

The stolen SUVs are valued at $1,760,000 total.

A car theft ring operating in Canton, Michigan has been accused of swiping 16 brand new 2023 Ford Bronco Raptors with a combined value of $1,760,000. The enterprising group of seven people decided to get the pricey off-roaders direct from Ford, raiding a factory storage lot in the city. We’ve seen this trick deployed quite a bit lately as automakers scramble to add security features to these storage lots.

According to Canton police, the theft ring started liberating Bronco Raptors from Ford’s ownership back around October 2022, with an investigation launched shortly after. Investigators concluded the thefts were connected to other Bronco thefts in Woodhaven and Dearborn. Often, thieves learn how to exploit the factory security features on one model or brand, then they concentrate on stealing those.
