Multiple Brand New Vehicles Stolen from Storage Lot Near Detroit Assembly Complex

DETROIT, Michigan — Law enforcement authorities are actively investigating a high-volume vehicle theft after several brand-new vehicles were stolen from a shipping and storage lot near the Detroit Assembly Complex on Wednesday afternoon.

According to police sources, the incident occurred at a logistics holding lot used to store newly manufactured vehicles before they are loaded onto haulers for dealership delivery. The suspects managed to breach the secure perimeter of the lot, start the vehicles, and drive them off the property in a coordinated heist.

This incident is part of an ongoing challenge facing automotive storage facilities in the Detroit metro area, where car thieves frequently target shipping yards due to the high volume of new, keyless-start vehicles. Investigators are currently gathering security footage from nearby industrial properties and the assembly complex to identify the suspects and trace the direction in which the stolen vehicles fled.
