HOLLYWOOD, FLA. (WSVN) - Two men were caught on surveillance video footage burglarizing a car dealership in Hollywood and taking off with a Porsche.
Hollywood Police detectives are now searching for the two subjects following the burglary on Aug. 12, near Southwest 51st Street and State Road Seven.
“In 15 years of doing this business, this has never happened to me,” said general manager Sam Levy.
Police said the two burglars worked together, using one vehicle to knock down the fence before the other drove off with an $80,000 2014 Porsche Panamera.
“They move all the cars, they break through the fence with another car and just run away with the Panamera,” said Levy. “They just took the Panamera and the keys.”
Before fleeing from the scene, cameras caught one of the subjects crawling through the dealership after breaking in through a glass door.
The burglar is then seen in the video stealing 17 keys from a box before crawling back outside.
“He went exactly to the box,” said Levy. “Everything was dark, so probably they knew the keys were there.”
The dealership said it is now making changes to prevent a similar crime from happening again.
“Now we’re taking the keys out of the dealership, so we don’t leave the keys here anymore,” said Levy. “We did a setup with the car, so it’s going to be a little hard to move a car from the lot now.”
If you have any information on this theft, call Broward County Crime Stoppers at 954-493-TIPS. Remember, you can always remain anonymous, and you may be eligible for a $3,000 reward.
