WAUKESHA, WI — A group of teenagers believed to be from the Chicago area broke into a luxury car dealership in Wisconsin and drove off with nine vehicles worth more than a half-million dollars, police said.
Sunday's heist at a Jaguar-Land Rover dealership in Waukesha was captured on surveillance camera footage showing nine masked suspects filing into the dealership before each drives off in a car in the city about 19 miles (30.5 kilometers) west of Milwaukee.
The video also shows one car being backed up and smashed through an overhead service door.
Waukesha Police Capt. Dan Baumann said the suspects broke into the dealership about 6 a.m. Sunday, found where its car keys were stored and then activated those key fobs to find the cars they stole.
“Nine subjects went out and throughout there looking for keys. One person finds where the keys were hidden and then starts to disseminate those to his friends,” Baumann told WISN-TV.
The nine vehicles are valued at more than $583,000, he said.
One suspect, a 17-year-old Chicago boy, was arrested Sunday in the southern Wisconsin community of Pleasant Prairie after the stolen vehicle he was driving crashed along Interstate 94 during a police pursuit. He was being held at the Waukesha County Jail on a $50,000 bond and faces burglary, theft and criminal damage to property charges, Baumann said.
Police said Sunday that the suspects are believed to be “an organized crime group of teenagers from the Chicago area.”
Baumann said Friday that all or most of the teen suspects are known to members of a police task force in southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois and police in that two-state region were still searching Friday for the eight other suspects.

It’s the Usual Suspects. And, we shouldn’t even post crime articles from ChiCongo. It’s repetitious.
“Range Rover is tied for #2 for highest ranked.”
In a small group including BMW, Mercedes and similar. Nowhere close to Lexus in reliability.
My wife’s Lexus is 10 years old this month and has had ZERO items needed fixing.
Unless they’d already had a fence lined up, what did the little geniuses think they were gonna do with ‘em?
LOL
That averages to $67 per car which is pretty much middle of the road these days. Hardly high-end lux.
“...found where its car keys were stored...”
Waiting for he Democrats to prosecute the dealer.
‘Teens’
Lexus are great cars. No horse power, but very nice.
Bait the “Field”, then fall asleep in the “Blind”!
PPP Piss Poor Planing!
This is the same city where those people were run over and killed at the Christmas parade...
Will these guys be arrested and charged ???
Amish teens who want to drive luxury cars instead of a horse and carriage? 🤓
They will be recruiting US gang members by the thousands. They’ve got the money they’ve got the drugs and they’re hungry and vicious. The American people have not seen nothing yet. I hear all the stories that are coming from the cartel in Mexico how merciless they are they kill in a heartbeat anybody that gets in their way. Either be a child or an elderly they’ll cut you up and dump your body in the dumpster. And all those rich movie stars look at Mexico, history of how the rich and famous are treated by the cartel. history. Can you say carjack no matter if they have security people they still get hijacked and murdered. Once again, President Trump was right on the money! They emptied their prisons and shipped them all over here. Don’t think for one minute the Venezuela government didn’t pay their flights and bus tickets or whatever it took to ship them over to our soil. I hate I hate I hate the Democrats FJB!
The more we see the crimes committed by these no good invaders who have infiltrated our nation the more I’m 100% convinced this is God‘s judgment on America. He will let an invasion happen when the people are in great great sin, and that our nation has become another sodom and Gomorrah.
We have also forgotten our first love our Lord Jesus Christ, our heavenly father and the Holy Spirit. God have mercy on America because I know the gang members the Chinese military age men the Muslim terrorists won’t!
Wrong Race...
Vehicles in dealerships typically don’t have much fuel onboard. Nearby gas stations are going to have video of de’Quavious, Don’trey and Ham’bonius as they gas up.
Looters, shoot on sight...
It was the rule at one time, and the wild west situation
today (expanding to all points), calls for a return to it.
Damn, out here we have the Kia Bois stealing everything that can be stolen. Pikers.
Not a word about what kind of cars were stolen. Pumping up the list for insurance fraud?
My wife sold high end cars. Keys were kept on a board in a cheap cabinet, designated by parking space number. Any employee would know which key to which car.
I get that, but couldn’t the keeps be kept in a somewhat more expensive cabinet that could be locked when the dealership is closed? Dealership opens, boss unlocks the cabinet and it’s business as usual.
Of course ‘teens’ breaking into dealerships to steal cars they apparently can’t drive might be a more recent phenomenon. Two days after theft cars wouldn’t find themselves in a shipping container bound for West Africa.
