In a daring act of thievery, a mechanic shop fell prey to a group of ruthless thieves who made off with several valuable vehicle components.
Reports reveal that the brazen crime took place between the hours of 7:30 p.m. and 11:50 p.m. on May 8th, leaving the proprietor of the Cassada Gardens business reeling in shock.
According to the Criminal Investigations Department (CID), the shop owner reported the theft of ten AC Delco batteries and one muffler, which were stolen from the premises.
The intruders infiltrated the area where customers’ vehicles were being repaired, and with expert precision, they seized the items from the storage area.
Despite the shop being equipped with CCTV cameras, the perpetrators managed to evade detection for some time.
Nevertheless, officers have been working tirelessly to review the footage and piece together the clues that could lead them to the culprits. The investigation into this heinous act continues.
This latest incident is not an isolated case, as the theft of car parts has been on the rise in recent months, with thieves invading residents’ properties and stripping their vehicles of parts they desire.
In one horrifying account, a woman reported that her car’s bumper was stolen while she slept, despite her car being parked next to her bedroom window.
The sound of her electric fan on high mode had apparently drowned out the thieves’ movements, leaving her unaware of the audacious crime that had taken place.
The situation is a cause for concern, and residents are urged to take extra precautions to safeguard their property.
