Nineteen people in Detroit are suspects in a nationwide theft ring, partly attributed to the use of covert GPS tracking devices. According to police, the suspects targeted specific jewelry shops and watch stores, often asking to view high-end jewelry and watches before running out the door and jumping into a getaway car without paying for the merchandise.
The theft ring appears to have been somewhat sophisticated in that the stolen merchandise was often tossed into a second car shortly after the theft to prevent it from being found in the vehicle seen leaving the scene. With covert GPS tracking devices, officers were able to confirm the location of multiple cars in each operation, thereby linking the suspects to the stolen items. The case involves 19 Detroit individuals in robberies spanning 22 states over a five year timeframe.
