Thieves Steal Chevy Corvette From Detroit Dealership

A C7 Chevy Corvette Z06 was recently stolen from a Detroit-area dealership, and the heist was caught on camera.

According to a recent social media post from Metro Detroit News, several individuals are suspected to have broken into a dealer located around I-96 and Hubbell. The incident occurred Friday, June 11th, around 12:22 a.m. local time.

Once inside, the suspects managed start the Chevy Corvette Z06 and make their getaway. In addition to stealing the C7 Vette, the suspects also stole a Chevy Silverado pickup, as well as a safe containing $30,000 in cash.

Police say that the suspects arrived at the dealership in a 2010-2014 Buick LaCrosse, which was missing its front and rear bumpers.

Prior to driving away with the C7 Chevy Corvette, Chevy Silverado, and safe, the suspects used the Chevy Silverado pickup to smash a metal gate barring the dealership exit.

A $20,000 reward is offered for anyone who might have information leading to the arrest of those responsible. Anyone who has seen the suspects or vehicles that were stolen are asked to call the Detroit Police Department’s Second Precinct at (313) 569-5240, or the Crime Stoppers hotline at 1-800-SPEAKUP.

The brazen robbery was caught on surveillance camera, and shows the suspects inside the dealership as one suspect closes the hood to the stolen C7 Chevy Corvette, then starting the engine. Another suspect is then seen running to get the safe. The driver in the Corvette attempts to maneuver the sports car out of the shop, but must reposition to avoid a collision with adjacent equipment.

Surveillance also shows the Chevy Silverado pickup truck smashing through the metal gate, after which the Chevy Corvette drives through to the street. One of the suspects is seen casually walking though the gate onto the street. Finally, we see the suspects and the Buick LaCrosse in which they arrived.

  1. These cretins can be rehabilitated…

    1. Can?.. we can agree.

      Let get the code talk out the room. A de- industrial city that have 75% AAs with a high poverty, you gonna have (gasp) Black criminals. LA with many poor Hispanic is going to have Hispanic crimes and we’ve seen what Portland and Seattle produces under the same situation over the past year, White crimes..

      What worked back in the good ol days of the ’50s/60s that many Right Wingers clamor for was many people was put to work and made stuff to prevent idol hands.

      1. “Rehabilitation” is code talk? We cannot see the race of these criminals in any way, shape or form. A felon is a felon. If you sympathize with them, that is certainly your choice. They are covered from head to toe with various pieces of clothing. Please stop with the race baiting. I will not play. I DO NOT care which race these individuals may be. They are thieves that committed multiple crimes of grand theft auto and grand theft ($30k). Thievery is disgusting behavior.

        Stop. Just please stop.

        1. No, let keep going for a bit. I’ve seen overt racist responses from here and other websites concerning Black crimes. If no solution is presented from the ruling class about how to truly end the Black/White tension and progress as a nation we’ll still have this type of problem.

          1. A. You are assuming that these criminals are black. Be proud. 🙁

            B. Ruling class? Get some help and stop looking at everyone within the human species as a skin color.

            1. Thanks, infamous…there is only one race-human! we choose to divide by many things in this life, but…
              1-we don’t mention cronyism or nepotism
              2-we minimize MONEY

              just sayin

              1. I’m not going to get into the entire relationship between dedication, hard work, sacrifice and personal economics, but thank you all the same. 🙂

                What gets me is that I chastised these criminals that made off with >$100k and I get downvoted? Sure, it’s just a comment section on a car website, but it truly opens your eyes to the cesspool that the internet brings to the human race. I’m assuming that the “downvoters” applaud felonious thievery or they’re simply partaking in some childish trolling. Oh well, no biggie.

                Have a nice weekend.

            2. 1 it’s a high probability they are Black given the demographics of the area if it’s someone else so be it, it seems the racists codebook love to pin it on someone Black anyway.

              2. Who truly runs the USA?, is it someone who looks like LeBron or Trump, be honest….

              Reply
        2. I don’t care what race they are either, a thief, is a thief, is a thief. If I were investigating this crime, I would pay attention to it being an inside job, or at least help from an employee.

          Reply
          1. Well said, Jim. These guys knew what the dealer had on hand and knew about the safe too. It appears that they grabbed it almost immediately. An inside job is very possible.

            Reply
          2. Almost had to be an inside job since they started the Corvette pretty quick like they had a key. That safe must have been aluminum the way that guy was toting it around. Almost looked like the Corvette guy was trying to run over him.

  2. I hope whoever catches those fat idiots gets remembered, and as for those who stole get a good loooooooooong sentence.

  3. Why not show there faces

  4. If I were in charge they’d get 30-years each. Fifteen for steeling the Corvette and fifteen for stealing hard earned customer money. If they get any kind of early release it should be five years washing cars with leg chains and hand cuffs. I hate thieves!
