Six brand-new Dodge Challenger Hellcats were stolen from Don Franklin Chrysler Dodge Jeep in Somerset around 2 a.m. Tuesday.
According to Adam Bryant, the dealership’s manager, the thieves broke into the showroom and stole four of the vehicles from there. The keys were inside those vehicles.
The other two vehicles were stolen outside on the lot. The manager says the thieves found the keys to those two vehicles inside the dealership building.
Bryant believes it took at least seven people 40 seconds to drive off with all six Hellcats, each worth around $95,000.
Five of the vehicles were later recovered.
One was found on the side of a parkway and appeared to have run out of gas. Two others were found in other locations in Kentucky. One was found in Tennessee and another in Alabama.
The sixth vehicle hasn’t been found yet but it is believed to be in Alabama, due to GPS tracking that is possibly damaged.
Bryant says one of the recovered Hellcats is likely a total loss. Two of them had no damage. He doesn’t know the conditions of the other two that were found.
