DEL CITY, OK - For the second time in four months, thieves broken into vehicles at Collision Works on SE 29th street. The owner says around 3 am Monday thieves made their way into the back parking lot and rummaged through nearly a dozen cars. The owner says they took stereos and other valuable items worth close to $20,000.
"As a business owner you feel like you've let your customer down, you feel like you didn't do everything in your power to secure the customers belongings and secure the customers vehicle," said Jake Nossaman, Owner.
Thieves first targeted the body shop in May after the hail storm. Nossaman says they made off with close to $50,000-60,000 in car stereos, rims, and other items.
The facility has always been surrounded by a 6 foot wall with security cameras posted around the property. After the first break-in, Collision Works upgraded its surveillance cameras. There are now 24 of them around the building.
This time, the owner has video of a few men wandering their parking lot around the time of the burglaries. They have since turned the video over to the Del City Police Department. Investigators now want to question those men.
"I think the camera surveillance is amazing, I think it will be very easy to recognize these guys," said Nossaman.
Collision Works is working with its customer's insurance companies to make sure everything that was taken from the cars is replaced. They are also repairing any damage.
The owner is now in the process of installing motion detectors all around the property that will sound an alarm if anyone tries to break in again.
Collision Works is offering a reward to anyone with information that leads to an arrest of those responsible for the car burglaries.
