The escalation of luxury vehicle thefts creates a demand for a proactive security response from auto dealerships across North America to safeguard their inventories effectively. This rising trend not only impacts individual vehicle owners, but increasingly also poses broader security challenges to dealerships that specialize in highly-sought-after inventory, like Infiniti vehicles, Dodge Chargers, and other frequent targets.
At approximately 12:45 am, Stealth security professionals monitoring an Infiniti dealership client spotted an intruder on the property on foot that was attempting to open inventory vehicle doors. Onsite audible warnings were activated, but the suspect remained undeterred and continued pulling on door handles, eventually accessing a vehicle via the rear passenger doors. Local police were contacted, and the suspect’s description, location, and activity relayed. Minutes later, responding officers arrived on the property and were able to quickly locate the suspect, who was still inside the vehicle. Officers immediately arrested the suspect and removed him from the property without further incident. A follow-up call with dispatchers confirmed the suspect’s arrest, who was revealed to also have outstanding warrants.
There has been a recent surge in auto thefts targeting Infiniti vehicles that has raised significant concerns among law enforcement and automotive dealerships nationwide. This trend, characterized by rapid “smash and grab” incidents, often sees thieves breaching vehicles through unconventional entry points such as the roof, enabling them to abscond with the car in less than three minutes.
A concerning report from Baltimore County, highlighted by WBAL-TV 11, reveals a staggering increase of over 350% in stolen Infiniti cars in the area. The region is not alone in seeing this spike, putting auto dealers on high alert who already face the challenges of increasing inventory theft and damages.
