STERLING HEIGHTS, Mich. (WXYZ) — It has happened again and again within less
than a week. Overnight 4 Ram pickups were stolen from the Sterling Heights
Assembly Plant.

Last Thursday, surveillance videos showed 3 Ram pickups and a high-end Jeep
busted right through the gate of the Stellantis storage lot in Shelby Township.

This is an epidemic we’ve been showing you for more than a year. It started with
an internal Michigan State Police Bulletin sent to all local police departments.
The bulletin says in most cases thieves are using computer tablets to duplicate
key fobs and drive off the cars within seconds.

Police working these cases are dealing with layers of people involved.

Szott M 59 Dodge in Highland had 4 stolen in October right through their
showroom window. Three have been recovered and 3 teens were arrested, ages 15 to
17.

Jeff Schneider is Director of Sales for Szott Automotive Group and tells 7
Action News, the teens are paid in cash “some are three, four or $5,000 cash.
They give them the technology to steal the vehicles. They show them exactly how
it's done.”



And if are teen first-time offenders they can get a slap on the wrist when they
go to court.

“These people can steal $100,000 car, which to me is a huge deal. And they go
before a judge, and they say property crime, insurance, got the car back and
they're back on the streets,” Schneider says.

Szott has gone old school to protect their hot targets giving them “the boot” -
wheel locks that had been used by cities on people who didn’t pay parking
tickets.

Stellantis announced in August an increase in security but it obviously doesn’t
go far enough.

Regarding the latest thefts, Stellantis sent us this statement:

> Stellantis is working with the Sterling Heights Police Department regarding
> the theft of several vehicles early Tuesday morning from a shipping yard that
> services the Sterling Heights Assembly Plant managed by a third party. As this
> is an open investigation, the Company is not commenting any further on what
> vehicles were stolen or how they were stolen.
