According to Thomaston Police, the thieves broke into the showroom and took not solely the vehicles however the keys to a lot of the vehicles within the lot.

“I don’t think this was someone coming to do a joyride, they knew what they were looking for,” Chief Mike Richardson mentioned. “And I don’t think these are going to be chopped up anywhere, they’re heading somewhere.”

The thieves disabled the safety cameras, in keeping with police.

For those who run the dealership, it’s extremely disappointing.

“We’re a small country town and normally nothing happens,” Chip Richardson mentioned.

Investigators are asking anybody with info to name Thomaston Police.

There is a $1,000 reward for any info that results in an arrest.
