Theft of Trucks at Warren Plant May Be Inside Job

Warren Police are looking into the possibility that a former or current employee of Fiat Chrysler was involved in the theft on Thursday of eight new Ram 1500 trucks from Warren Truck Assembly Plant parking lot, Phoebe Wall Howard of the Detroit Free Press reports.

"We do believe there was a good possibility that there was inside information given to the persons responsible for the thefts," Warren Police Commissioner Bill Dwyer tells the Free Press.

"That would include possibly a former or current employee. Obviously they knew where they were going, what they were looking for, what area to cut the fence and get into the lot where vehicles were parked. This was not a random, all-of-a-sudden thought or idea. It was well-planned for probably several weeks.”

Two of the trucks were found abandoned Friday in Detroit, but no arrests have been made.
