As
protests over the death of Minneapolis man George Floyd turned violent
Sunday night, hundreds of looters targeted a car dealership in San
Leandro.
By the time police arrived, scores of cars had filed out of the
parking lot: Dodge Chargers, Jeep Wranglers, Jeep Cherokees.
All told,
nearly 80 cars were stolen, with some being driven out right in front of
police. Looters even drove off in high-end Dodge Challenger SRT
Hellcats, which sell for about $90,000 each, authorities said.
“Looters
[were] vandalizing the store or even burglarizing the store, getting
access to the keys, and taking cars,” San Leandro Police Lt. Ted
Henderson said.
So far, about 30 of the stolen vehicles have been
located, and some are damaged, police said.
