Mount Clemens, MI — Authorities in Macomb County say two men have been arrested in connection with a series of Dodge Ram infotainment screen thefts that have plagued the area since February.
According to the Macomb County Sheriff’s Office, the Macomb Auto Theft Squad (MATS) has investigated 87 reports of infotainment systems being stolen from Dodge Ram vehicles across the county. In some cases, victims allegedly had their screens stolen on multiple occasions from the same vehicle.
Detectives identified two suspects after an extended investigation. On Thursday, investigators observed the pair actively breaking into vehicles during a surveillance operation. With help from the Detroit Police Department and the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office Auto Theft Unit, deputies reportedly took the suspects into custody without incident.
Both suspects, a 23-year-old man from Detroit and a 26-year-old man from Roseville, were turned over to the Oakland County Sheriff’s Office for the alleged break-ins that occurred Thursday.
Officials say the investigation is ongoing and that pending charges will be filed in Macomb County. Authorities did not release additional details regarding how many thefts the suspects are believed to be responsible for or whether stolen equipment has been recovered.
The sheriff’s office encouraged residents to remain vigilant and report suspicious activity, noting that auto theft crews have repeatedly targeted Dodge Ram trucks for their valuable infotainment systems.
