Biker Gang Steal 150 Jeep Wranglers — Real Life Grand Theft Auto
A group of bikers stole 150 Jeep Wranglers in the San Diego area and sold them across the border.
Auto thefts are on the rise with the increasing number of vehicles. You may have seen or heard of car thefts, but the one you are going to read is a mega auto heist.
A group of bikers from Tijuana were involved in a cross-border auto theft. The gang of bikers were charged with stealing 150 Jeep Wranglers using computer code and key design.
The biker group is known as Hooligans and have stolen Jeep in San Diego for the past several years. They either stripped the vehicle or sold them across the border in Mexico and US. The total value of the Jeeps is estimated as 4.5 million dollars.
The biker gang staked the vehicles before the theft to get the vehicle identification number. With the VIN in hand, the accused were able to create the duplicate keys for the vehicles and codes needed to link to the Jeep Wranglers.
The key designs and the codes for the Wrangler are stored in a database. It is still not clear that how did the Hooligans get hold of the database. In the investigation, it was revealed that a Jeep dealership made 20 requests for duplicate keys.
The vehicle theft took minutes, after using the key to enter the Wrangler, the thieves used an electronic device to start the engine. But the device name was not revealed. Several manufacturers store key and codes for future use.
As per experts, the hacking of cars will soon become a reality. With the hacking tools easily available through the internet, the manufacturers are facing a big challenge. The cyber security of cars is very complicated as customers are reluctant to spend on such things.
