MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. ā€“ Police are investigating a break-in at car dealership in northwest Miami-Dade.

The incident was reported just after 4:30 a.m. at the Truck Depot at 9850 NW 27th Ave.

The business owner told Local 10 News reporter Roy Ramos he is working with detectives andĀ reviewing surveillance video to try toĀ find clues that will help them catch the thieves.Ā 

"It was just a bunch of kids getting in here and messing everything up really," manager David Ramos said.Ā 

According to the owner, at least three thieves drove through the fence of the business.

Miami-Dade police officers discovered thieves had stolen vehicles and broken into the business.Ā 

The owner said the crooks gotĀ away with two vehicles andĀ more than a dozen sets of keys. He said they alsoĀ tried to crack open a safe.Ā 

They then drove a white SUV through a locked side gate and left the area.

"We have recovered all the keys, so far. The only thing they took of any value was a Gucci belt," Ramos said.Ā

Nearby business Auto Drive LLCĀ also fellĀ victim to thieves more than a week ago, when surveillance cameras captured at least one person trying to take owner Ivan Jorge's Ā tow truck, but was unsuccessful. Ā
