Cars stolen from DC, Maryland and Virginia intercepted at Port of Baltimore

by Mitch BlacherMon, July 24th 2023

WASHINGTON (7News) — Surveillance cameras captured a team of four skilled thieves breaking into a Bethesda Mercedes dealership. In roughly 15 minutes, they maneuvered four Mercedes, including a $200,000 Mercedes G-Wagon, outside and escaped.

These thefts are among 55,000 auto crimes committed in Montgomery County over the past three years, according to police records.

Months after the thefts, the 7News I-Team was at the Port of Baltimore when U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents intercepted two of the cars stolen from the Bethesda dealership. The cars, valued at more than $400,000, were discovered before they disappeared overseas.

The shipping container manifest indicated one car was destined for West Africa, but an X-ray scan revealed three cars inside. 7News' cameras rolled as U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents opened the shipping container’s gate, revealing the dealer plates intact and providing critical evidence for the ongoing investigation.

Police have not made any arrests for the thefts, but the cars have been returned to the dealership.

“I couldn’t even believe it. I couldn’t believe it. I figured these were long gone,” Bethesda Euro Motorcars General Manager Jim Willard said.

FACT''''
'''85% of nigerians are thieves' just that the ones who are successful now don't want the young ones to chase them''''.

Majority of the cars from US to even Nigeria are stolen cars, if you digg deep into them.

And they'd be claiming it's Foreign Used, Non-Accidental!

scams usually come around after say 10 years of dormancy and quietness, when security must have removed their privy eyes away from them, they resurge.
