MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – Surveillance video shows a brazen burglar driving a stolen Tesla into a fence to steal two other Tesla sedans in Miami-Dade County, according to deputies.
The video shows when car thieves drove away from Balado National Tires, near the Miami International Airport’s Rental Car Center.
“It was pretty bold,” said Alyssa Hidalgo, who works at the family-owned business’s wholesale warehouse where the crime happened.
According to the Miami-Dade County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded after 1:35 a.m., on Thursday, at at 2527 NW 38 Court.
The thieves left the stolen white Tesla they had damaged behind at the crime scene and stole red and white cars, according to deputies.
According to Detective Joseph R. Peguero Rivera, a spokesman for the M-DCSO, other law enforcement agencies recovered the stolen cars by Thursday afternoon.
According to the business’s site, employees are trained to treat customers as if they were “extended” family.
“We’re all very close and it’s sad to see people take advantage of that,” Hidalgo said.
Detectives asked anyone with information about this or other cases to call Miami-Dade County Crime Stoppers at 305-471-8477 to remain anonymous.
