[quote=Anonymous][quote] WASHINGTON — In January, thieves made off with two Jeep Wranglers parked on a Southeast DC street in a matter of seconds.
The overnight thefts on South Carolina Avenue, Southeast, were caught on camera. Video shows the thieves breaking in and stealing one of the Jeeps. Then they return about a half hour later and steal another Jeep parked across the street
One of those stolen Jeeps belonged to Nick Cioffi, who says he got a call from MPD a few weeks ago with some answers.

"Customs agents had found the car, and they found our neighbor's Jeep also, and a Corvette of all things inside a shipping container in the port of Baltimore that was headed to West Africa," said Cioffi. Something officials say happens often. 
Its latest data, from fiscal year 2024, shows the Baltimore Field Office ranked second in the country with 250 stolen vehicle recoveries. The most common vehicle model recovered in fiscal year 2024, were Toyota Highlanders, followed by Jeeps.

Customs and Border Protection in Baltimore says, West Africa is a leading destination for stolen cars because of vessel traffic to West African ports, and transnational criminal organizations that trade in stolen vehicles have well-established supply chains in the area.

These criminals gangs in Virginia and Maryland have been operating for years. They either ship the cars oversea or chop the cars up for parts. All we get from republicans and police is blaming DC for having some many “criminals” who steal cars. These are cars stolen on order from criminal gangs. Trumps deployment of Federal agents and National Guard walking the street did nothing.

When will the Feds and local police actually go after these gangs? [/quote]
