Three Masked Thieves Arrested at Auto Dealership

Car thieves are far more innovative than you might imagine. From recruiting children and teens to assist in their heists to getting themselves or a friend hired at dealerships and auto shops, they’ve come up with a variety of creative schemes to gain access to these valuable assets for profit or additional criminal activity.  

In the above video, Stealth security operators caught sight of three individuals onsite at a car dealership afterhours. The three masked men quickly gained access to the service area, where cameras revealed they obtained keys to vehicles in the service bay and attempted to drive them off the property. However, the security professionals monitoring the cameras had already contacted local law enforcement who arrived on scene quickly and were able to locate and arrest the three thieves before they could leave the dealership. 

Help Secure Your Dealership from Theft and Other Criminal Activity 

As all in the auto business know, protecting vehicle inventory presents a set of unique security concerns. With lots that are often irregular shapes and sizes, service bays, showrooms, and extremely valuable inventory, the bulk of which must be kept outside- simple security solutions tend to fall short. 

Remote video surveillance, however, is a proactive security solution that can help meet the security challenges presented by auto dealerships. Our solutions can be customized to meet the needs of individual properties, with sightlines and focuses where you need them most.  

With live video monitoring, criminal and other unwanted activity can be deterred and dispersed thanks to a combination of trained security professionals and analytics-based cameras, working together to spot suspicious behavior and respond appropriately when needed. 

With the added filter of human intelligence, our trained operators can spot the difference between normal afterhours lot browsing and suspicious activity, contacting local law enforcement and relaying details if something or someone looks untoward.
