Once inside, they ransacked the dealership's office, taking the titles for five vehicles, along with computers, cameras and several rims off a vehicle. The thieves also ripped the business' security system from the ceiling, before making off with five vehicles:
- 2006 Jeep Liberty
- 2005 Ford Mustang
- 2005 Chrysler 300
- 2011 Ford 350
- 2006 Mini Cooper
In all, Kenneth Motors estimates as much as $30,000-worth of cars and equipment was stolen.
A spokesman for the business said it had been robbed before, and that they believe the same suspects may be involved in this theft.
On New Year's Day, a thief broke through a cinderblock wall to burglarize Mr. C's Discount Liquor at 8801 E. 38th Street. Once inside, suspect reportedly stole $2,000.
Less than a week prior, someone cut a hole through the outside wall of a Marathon gas station on East 30th Street. The suspect then tried to cut a hole into the room where the gas station stores cigarettes, but fled before completing the second hole.
