TYLER, Texas (AP) — Police are trying to determine who stole the wheels from 48 new vehicles at an East Texas car dealership.

Tyler police estimate thieves made off with about $250,000 worth of tires and wheels, leaving the vehicles up on blocks.

Police are examining surveillance video showing several suspects on the grounds of Peltier Chevrolet around 1 a.m. Sunday. The suspects entered the fenced dealership at the rear of the business.

A Tyler police statement Monday says investigators believe the thieves may be part of a ring targeting car dealers across Texas.
