At Least Nine Cars Stolen from Peninsula Auto Dealership in Weekend Heist

Belmont police are investigating a weekend burglary at an auto dealership in which at least nine vehicles were stolen from the location.

Belmont Police Captain Patrick Halleran says that an unknown suspect or group of suspects scaled the fence at Autobahn Motors in the 700 block of Island Parkway sometime between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m. Sunday.

“The suspects then gained entry to an outbuilding and stole an undetermined amount of car keys,” Halleran said. “The suspects then used the keys to steal several cars, which had been left at the dealership for repair.”

Halleran said that, so far, nine vehicles have been confirmed stolen, though one of them has already been recovered in the East Bay.

“Belmont Police investigators are working closely with the dealership to confirm how many vehicles were taken,” he said.

There is no suspect information and anyone with information on this crime is asked to contact Belmont Police at (650) 595-7400 or the Belmont Police Crime Tip Line at (650) 598-3000.
