12 Cars Worth $400K Stolen From Gwinnett Dealership

DULUTH, GA — At least twelve cars worth a total of $400,000 were stolen from a Gwinnett County car dealership in the early morning hours on Sunday.

Gwinnett County police say several people worked together to steal the vehicles, which belonged to customers, from Audi Gwinnett at 3180 Satellite Blvd. in Duluth. The thefts happened between 3-6 a.m., police say.

According to investigators, the thieves got into the building and took keys from a broken lock box in the dealership's service area. They then took the cars from the property.

Detectives Wednesday morning still didn't know exactly how the cars were moved — whether more people were involved or the thieves had a transport trailer for the cars. None of the vehicles have been recovered and police don't yet have police reports from all of the victims.

Video surveillance showed the thieves walking onto the dealership property wearing masks. One of them appears to be talking on a cellphone in the service area where the keys were stolen.

Anyone with information about the crime is asked to contact Gwinnett County Police at 770-513-5300. To remain anonymous, tipsters may contact Crime Stoppers at 404-577-TIPS (8477) or visit the Crime Stoppers website. Crime Stoppers tipsters may receive up to $2,000 for information leading to an arrest and indictment in the case.
