Police: 20 cars stolen from NYC lot for use in other crimes
Thieves stole 20 cars from a New York City dealership and will likely use the vehicles to commit other crimes, a top police official said.
The car thieves hit a Mitsubishi dealership over the weekend, broke open a lock box that held keys and drove off with late-model cars, NYPD Chief of Detectives James Essig said Monday.
While some stolen cars are sold overseas, Essig said investigators believe the cars stolen from the Mitsubishi lot will be used to carry out other crimes.
