Three vehicles were stolen from a North Carolina dealership on Sunday, according to Charles Boyd Chevrolet of Henderson.

According to the dealership, located at 250 Ruin Creek Road, the crime was committed at 1:43 a.m.

Three men broke a window and entered the building, stealing a new Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 from inside the showroom and a 2023 Cadillac Escalade and a 2023 Audi Q5.

Monday, the broken window was boarded up and it's business as usual at the dealership.

Charles Boyd, owner of the dealership, said the thieves went right to the key room and eventually made off with a Camaro ZL1, a Cadillac Escalade and a Audi Q5, worth more than $240,000 in total. Boyd thinks the men had been to the dealership before and knew where the key room was.

"These guys just popped the doors right out and out went the Camaro," Boyd said.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Henderson Police Department at 252-438-4141.

The owners posted surveillance photos and a message on Facebook:

"We would like to sincerely thank the Henderson Police Department for their time and attention today. Each and every officer involved in this investigation has done a remarkable job using all their resources to help bring these people to justice."

Another video was taken early Saturday morning at the Marion Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram dealership, more than 200 miles away from Henderson.

Just like in Henderson, Three people threw a rock through the glass door and made off with three vehicles,

"I'd say there's some real heavy similarities," said Phil Moore, the general manager of Marion Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram.

The burglars who hit the Marion dealership also made off with more than 200 keys.

"It doesn't end just when they left," Moore said. "They still have all these keys so we have to see what we can do to secure the inventory we have remaining."

Police are tracking the vehicles using their GPS Systems. They located the Escalade nearly three hours away in Mathews at an apartment complex.

So far, no arrests have been made
