This past week, thieves attempted to steal vehicles at a Bettenhausen FIAT in Tinley. Just after midnight, a white Chrysler 300 was seen pulling up to the dealership on surveillance cameras. Two individuals got out of the vehicles and were captured taking pictures of VINs and pulling door handles. The operator monitoring the surveillance cameras immediately called local police.

One individual was carrying a firearm and attempted to break into a Dodge Durango. As officers arrived on site, the suspects fled the scene immediately.

As a reminder, all keys and vehicles should be kept locked at all times.

The dealership employed Midpoint Technology Group for video monitoring at the dealership.
