Stealing cars is a perilous hobby with serious consequences, especially for repeat offenders. A 17-year-old learned this the hard way when he was caught stealing a car from the Burdick Lexus dealer in New York state, and now the DA’s office has offered him a 10-year prison sentence deal

According to the Cicero Police and the Onondaga County Sheriff’s Office, the teen was identified as a member of a group who stole three cars from two different dealers on the night of August 22. The group of six teenagers allegedly stole a Dodge Challenger and Jeep Grand Wagoneer from Burdick Dodge, in addition to a Lexus RC from Burdick Lexus. The police recovered all three vehicles miles away, shortly after they were reported stolen.

CCTV footage from Burdick Lexus, shared by the Cicero Police Department, depicts the black 2023 Lexus RC350 being driven through the dealer’s front windows at 3:36 AM on August 22. The car had its windows and sunroof open, which suggests that some of the shattered glass most likely ended up inside the cabin.
