Exeter police are investigating the theft of two Dodge vehicles — valued at more than $76,000 each — stolen from a local auto dealership over the weekend.
A white 2020 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody and a red 2021 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat were reported stolen from Foss Motors at 133 Portsmouth Ave., early Saturday, Exeter police said.
Both vehicles later were recovered in Boston. The Dodge Challenger was located in the Hynes Auditorium parking garage, while Boston police reported the Dodge Charger was found in a Sheraton hotel parking garage with a stolen Massachusetts commercial plate.
The theft was reported by Foss Motors staff just after 7:30 a.m. on Saturday. Surveillance video shows a newer-model Jeep Grand Cherokee in the parking lot and two suspects exiting and heading toward three Dodge SRT Hellcats, police said.
Police believe the thieves may have tried to steal a third vehicle, a 2021 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody, whose driver’s side rear window was shattered.
The suspects did not have keys to the stolen vehicles. They may have used an electronic device to gain access and start them, police said.
During the investigation, Exeter police learned Boston police responded to the Hilton Boston Back Bay hotel at approximately 3:17 a.m. on Feb. 17 after an employee reported that a Dodge Challenger had driven through a gate in the parking lot.
Hotel security reported seeing three unknown male suspects dressed in black enter the parking lot adjacent to the hotel. A short time later, one of the men approached staff and told them that he had delivered food to the hotel and wasn’t going to pay the fee to get out of the garage.
After being told that the charge couldn’t be reversed, the man, along with another individual, drove through the gate and fled, police said.
The case remains under investigation. Exeter police ask that anyone with information call the department at 603-772-1212. Anonymous tips can also be made by calling 603-431-1199 or at seacoastcrimestoppers.com.
