Texas Police Bust Auto Theft Ring That Stole $2.5M in Trucks in One Month

Detectives with the Plano Police Department said suspected thieves stole more than $2.5 million worth of trucks and SUVs from around North Texas.

Details about the alleged crimes, which reads like a crime series on a streaming platform, were detailed in an arrest probable cause affidavit. Several suspects tied to the case were indicted and formally charged last week.

Plano Police said there has been a continued series of thefts specifically involving GM model trucks and SUVs along the Dallas Tollway in Plano.

"It’s unfortunate because a lot of people are going to suffer on the back end and don’t even realize that they are losing money," said Jennifer Chapman, spokeswoman for the department.
