In the third time in half a year, an FCA vehicle lot has been hit by a gang of vehicle thieves, who this time were targeting Dodge Chargers. In the early hours of Sunday morning, the group broke through a security fence at the Cassens Transport lot, next to the Jefferson North Assembly plant and left with seven vehicles, four of them Dodge Chargers. But the amazing thing about this particular theft was that the thieves were actually met by security and were still able to take off with the vehicles.
This is the second hit at Jefferson North. The first came in December, when six Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT Trackhawks were repurposed, and lines up with the modus operandi of the hit that happened at the Warren Truck Assembly plant in May, when at least ten Ram pickups were stolen. Six of the Ram trucks and six out of the seven vehicles from the latest heist have been recovered, but that still leaves vehicles unaccounted for and questions for both FCA, the third-party operators that handle their vehicle shipments, and the security teams that frankly didn’t do jack squat when a Gone In Sixty Seconds scene was being re-enacted right before their very eyes.

Keep stealin’ ’em boys – the less there are – the more they’re worth!!!
What do you expect from minimum wage security personnel?
“Paul Blart Security Services”
…with “security” present. C’mon, unless you’ve lived in a bubble youd whole life, we know how tbis works. Just like Port Newark in the 90’s where this was an almost daily activity. Here’s an envelope. There’s fresh coffee, donuts, and a hooker in the breakroom. Come back in a couple hours.
Inside job. Time to apply the jumper cables to their ‘nads and sweat them…..
I amazed that some trucks were recovered from that first heist. When nice cars are stolen here in Canada, they are soon in shipping containers headed for Africa or the Middle East, never to be seen on these shores again.
And what do you expect minimum wage security to do, jump in front of the car and stop them? Ain’t nobody got time for that!
Maybe picking the security company that bid the lowest was the smartest choice.
