MARION, N.C. — Three people broke into the Marion Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram dealership early Saturday and stole three vehicles, police stated in a news release.
Video shows two people breaking the glass to a side door to get in while a third waited outside the dealership on Worley Road.
Police said, once inside, the car thieves broke into a lock box to get the car keys.
After some time, the three vehicles were seen driving off the dealership floor.
The vehicles that were stolen are:
- 2023 Chrysler 300 Touring L with comfort group, white
- 2020 Dodge Charger (4-door sedan) R/T Scat Pack, granite crystal metallic clearcoat
- 2021 Dodge Ram 1500 TRX 4WD, black pearl
“All of it is frustrating,” said Phil Moore, the general manager at the dealership. “You feel violated. You feel like you’re not safe and I just hope it doesn’t happen to anyone else.”
The investigation is ongoing.
This is the latest in a string of similar crimes from Asheville to Raleigh.
