For the second time in less than a year, a local auto dealership was hit by wheel thieves getting away with hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of tires and rims. It left us wondering more about the black market for high-end wheels. "Definitely I think we've got an organized group. They're well prepared," said Lt. Matt Malone of the Live Oak Police Department. It's the biggest theft to hit Live Oak in at least two decades. In all, 160 wheels were stripped from 40 cars and SUV's at the Live Oak Cadillac dealership late Saturday night. On Wednesday, police confirmed that the suspects in the case used a large Penske truck to haul the wheels off, just like the crooks that hit 45 vehicles at a Chevy dealership in Leon Valley back in November. kens5.com
