Last weekend, thieves broke into a Dodge dealership in Philadelphia and stole three muscle cars totaling $228,000.

The Northern Lancaster County Regional Police Department responded to a report of a break-in at Zartman Dodge in Warwick County early Sunday morning. When they arrived, they found that a crew had forced entry onto the lot and stolen three V8 vehicles.

The cars stolen were an orange 2020 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat worth $77,998, a black 2022 Dodge Charger Scat Pack Widebody valued at $65,992 and a black 2021 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat with brass monkey wheels valued at $83,991.

According to Northern Lancaster County PD's the incident is "connected to numerous other ongoing investigations". Police are asking anyone with information to get in touch, but says nothing to suggest any arrests are imminent.

Theft of high-powered Dodge and Jeep vehicles has reached pandemic proportions in recent years, with robbers especially interested in obtaining Hellcat supercharged models, which are popular among street racers.

In 2019, the Highway Loss Data Institute in America discovered that the Dodge Charger Hemi and Dodge Challenger Hellcat were five times more likely to be stolen than most vehicles. This number has most likely increased in recent years.
