All the tires and rims from four Chevrolet Suburbans were stolen from the lot at H&L Chevrolet overnight Sunday to Monday, Darien police were told.
The thieves apparently got into the lot by forcing their way through a wooden picket fence near Old Kings Highway South, at the back of the dealership. About 10 vehicles were entered, but nothing was taken from six. Vehicles in the lot weren’t locked.
For the four Suburbans, all brand new, the thieves were able to get the jacks and other tire-changing tools from inside the vehicle. They then took off the four tires from each of the four Suburbans, along with the rims, leaving the vehicles jacked up or falling back on the ground, which damaged at least some of them, police said.
Police detectives are investigating the thefts.
