Rare Dodge Hellcat stolen in broad daylight from Washington Twp. driveway
Police are looking into what they believe to be a part of an organized vehicle theft ring after a South Jersey woman's dream car was taken in less than three minutes during a daring, broad-daylight robbery.
It happened just after 7 a.m. Friday in Washington Township. Security cameras captured how quickly the thieves came in, broke a window, and drove off.
"For my 50th birthday, I decided I was gonna go out...and buy myself the car I've always loved," cried Christina while speaking about her purple Dodge Hellcat, which can reach up to 200 miles per hour.
Police said it's their powerful performance and limited production that make them highly desirable.
"It's brazen. I've worked here 30 years, I've never seen a car stolen like that in broad daylight hours. At least two subjects are wearing ski masks," noted Washington Township Police Chief Patrick Gurcsik.
"They broke the rear window on the vehicle, then went through the window... plugged a diagnostics tool into the computer dash and were able to get the car started by cloning the key," said Gurcsik.
Christina knew her car was rare. Since she bought it, she usually blocks it in to prevent something like this from happening. This was the one time she didn't.
