WHITE OAK, Pa. \u2014 White Oak\u2019s police chief confirmed investigators recovered two cars stolen from a neighborhood early Monday.<\/p>\n
Surveillance video shows around 4:15 a.m. Monday, five people ran through the neighborhood searching for unlocked cars. In two cases, keys had been left in the vehicles, and both cars were stolen.<\/p>\n
The operation lasted just over a minute, with residents and victims finding out after they woke up.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt just seemed so organized,\u201d Armando Henriquez said. \u201cIt\u2019s not like just like some 14-year-old just happened to go up to my car and open up the door. It was like these kids have done this before.\u201d<\/p>\n
Henriquez said his credit card was used to purchase more than $2,000 of merchandise at big-box stores in Monroeville.<\/p>\n
The owner of one of the stolen cars shared pictures of her Altima, which had a smashed bumper and no tread left on the tires.<\/p>\n
Police said they chased the Altima down the parkway into Pittsburgh before it was recovered around Bates Street. The second car was recovered in McKeesport.<\/p>\n
Investigators did not say if any arrests were made. Henriquez said they had obtained video of the suspects shopping at Target with his credit card.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not clear if these thieves are connected to an apparent ring of teenagers who have repeatedly taken cars throughout the Pittsburgh metro area.<\/p>\n
