A group of teens believed to be part of a Chicago-area organized crime ring broke into a luxury Range Rover dealership in Wisconsin last week and drove away with nine cars with a total value of over half a million dollars, authorities said.
Surveillance video captured the moment nine masked suspects busted into the Jaguar-Land Rover dealership at about 6 a.m. on Feb. 18 in Waukesha, about 19 miles west of Milwaukee.
Waukesha Police Capt. Dan Baumann told WISN-TV that the suspects broke into the dealership and found where the car keys were stored before activating the key fobs to locate each car they would steal.
“Kids nowadays are becoming more and more brazen to go out, and to take a group like this, and commit a crime like this,” Baumann said.

The nine high-end vehicles are valued at more than $583,000, Baumann said.
Police at the time said that the suspects were believed to be “an organized crime group of teenagers from the Chicago area” and most are known to members of a police task force in southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois.
