Jeepers! Latest On Teens That Stole $1million In High Priced Jeeps

 Ten high-priced Jeep Wagoneers worth nearly a million dollars combined were stolen.  Warren police say all the suspects were kids under 18, as a recent trend going around metro Detroit of break-ins at area auto dealers.

The theft happened early on the morning of July 22 when thieves crashed a Dodge Ram through the Warren Stamping Plant fence to gain access to the lot.

They stole 10 Grand Wagoneers - which start at about $93,000 for each.

It seems to be the new trend going around. Recently, thieves stole luxury vehicles during a smash-and-grab at Southfield rental company.

 The company, Dream Luxury Car Rental, showed multiple thieves smashing through a window at the business early Tuesday morning and making off with a TRX, a Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 53, and a Corvette.

Six of the 10 Jeep Grand Wagoneers stolen from the Stellantis Warren Stamping Plant early Monday morning have been recovered.

According to Warren Police, most of the suspects in the heist were under the age of 18. Law enforcement believes organized criminal enterprises are hiring teenagers, sometimes kids as young as eight, to steal.

This is not the first time thieves have stolen cars from the Warren Stamping Plant, and police in Metro Detroit have been investigating other break-ins at car dealerships in recent weeks.

Police have not released any other details about the theft or provided any descriptions of suspects.

The National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) recalculated its list of most frequently stolen cars with new data from 2023. In years past, full-size pickup trucks tended to top the list, but that’s no longer true.
