At ECAM, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ecam.com\/security-blog\/police-arrest-individual-stealing-used-tires-from-auto-dealership\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">we see this often<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"none\">&#8211; individuals with knowledge of dealerships and their layouts taking aim directly for areas where discarded tires- valuable on the black market as well as a quick sell on sites like Facebook Marketplace- can be found.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Tire thieves stopped in their tracks\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iJXi9RHUUtM?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/ecam.com\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">At roughly 6:30 in the morning, ECAM monitoring operators observing an auto dealership client spotted a black pickup truck approaching the rear of the property, where the used tires are stored. Onsite audible alarms were activated to inform the intruders they were being observed, but they ignored the warning. Local police dispatch was contacted and made aware of the trespassing and theft in progress. Officers quickly responded on scene, making contact with the individuals from the pickup. One of the intruders was arrested, and the review team passed the footage to the authorities for prosecution.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The rising value of used vehicles has led to an alarming increase in the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/cbsaustin.com\/news\/local\/fredericksburg-police-searching-for-tire-thief\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">theft of used tires from auto dealerships<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> and their service departments. In fact, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/ecam.com\/security-blog\/police-arrest-individual-stealing-used-tires-from-auto-dealership\"><span data-contrast=\"none\">dealerships aren\u2019t the only ones<\/span><\/a><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> facing the impacts of this growing trend- though their potential for an array of targets makes them perhaps more appealing to criminals.
