NEW: G & M Auto Sales and Service in Rockland, Ont. says thieves swapped the original key fob with a fake to help steal a Dodge Charger this week. ottnews

A brazen vehicle theft from a car lot in Rockland, Ont. was caught on camera this week and was likely a success because the alleged thieves took the original key fob used to get into the vehicle and swapped it with a fake.

On Wednesday, three men asked to see a Jeep Cherokee and a Dodge Charger, but Wilson says things quickly felt amiss—the man purchasing the vehicle didn't have his licence and they kept asking if there were more expensive vehicles, he said. "I went to that car and the car's not working, doors aren't opening," he said."I gave them the benefit of the doubt for a second, I went into the shop, changed the battery, obviously still not working."

G & M Auto Sales and Service in Rockland, Ont. says security footage shows two men appearing to swap key fobs for a vehicle while checking out a vehicle on Wednesday. The Dodge Charger was stolen Thursday morning.
