ATLANTA, Georgia (WANF) — Thomaston police are investigating after thieves allegedly stole two Ford Mustang vehicles totaling nearly $200,000 from the Southern Ford of Thomaston dealership.
A Ford Mustang GT500 Heritage and a blue Ford Mustang GT500 were both taken Friday night.
“It’s a really special car, we’re one of the lucky dealers to have it,” said General Manager Chip Richardson. “Heritage is a numbered car; less than a thousand of them were built and all are proven here.”
According to Thomaston Police, the thieves broke into the showroom and took not only the cars but the keys to most of the cars on the lot.
“I don’t think it’s someone coming for a joyride, they know what they’re looking for,” said Chief Mike Richardson. “And I don’t think it’s going to be cut anywhere, they’re going somewhere.”
The thieves disabled the security cameras, according to police.
For those running the dealership, this is incredibly frustrating.
“We’re a small country town and usually nothing happens,” Chip Richardson said.
Investigators are asking anyone with information to call Thomaston Police.
There is a $1,000 reward for any information leading to an arrest.
