Thieves showed up to a Houston car dealership in a stolen gold Cadillac to steal another vehicle in the middle of business hours, and only ABC13 has obtained surveillance video of the crime.The dealership tells us the three people who stole the white Dodge are still on the run.
The owner is hoping someone will recognize one of the men in the video. Footage shows a gold Cadillac pull into the lot right past two employees.The dealership has Flock Safety cameras, which identified the golden Cadillac as stolen. Flock is a license plate recognition camera system. The camera company called the dealership to tell them there was a stolen car on the lot, but the thieves managed to stay undetected.
Helfman says there are steps that dealerships can take like adding physical locks to steering wheels. For now, he's hoping someone will recognize the men and help recover the missing car. "It's really a terrible thing, and if they put their talents into the business world, they would probably be just as successful," Helfman said.
