Thieves steal $329,000 worth of Dodge and Ram vehicles in Michigan



Law enforcement officers in Michigan arrested four men linked to the theft of four vehicles from a Dodge and Ram dealership about an hour away from Detroit. All four cars were later recovered, but a rare 2021 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat was damaged after it hit a wall.

Police officers were dispatched to Szott M-59 Dodge Ram in Highland Charter Township, Michigan, to investigate the theft of four cars: the aforementioned Durango, a 2021 Durango GT, a 2021 Ram 1500 TRX, and a 2017 Dodge Charger Hellcat. The combined value of these four cars is estimated at $329,000, according to The Detroit News. Investigators say that two of the vehicles were driven straight off the showroom floor through a glass door, which somewhat ironically is how Jeep presented the first-generation Grand Cherokee in 1992.

Officers said several of the dealership's doors were damaged, an office had been rummaged through, and a cabinet where key fobs were stored had been opened. The last point presumably explains how the thieves managed to drive off in the cars.
