Police warn of car thieves with tracking devices in Delaware
NEW CASTLE, De. - Authorities say thieves in Delaware are targeting specific high-performance Dodge and Jeep models, and may be using tracking devices to pull off the thefts.
New Castle Police say they have seen a rise in thefts of SRT Models and Scat Pack Models of Dodge Chargers, Challengers, Hellcats, Durangos, and Jeep Track Hawks.
