“THIEVING SCUMBAGS WILL NOT BREAK US” A LOCAL businessman says that the theft of 14 cars in one night has caused “personal devastation”. Thieves struck at Deepcar Motor Company in the early hours of Saturday morning, stealing the vehicles with an estimated total value in the region of £120,000. Owner Emil Berek, who has been trading at the location on Vaughton Hill for five years, says he believes that a large number of professional thieves were behind the raid. “They knew what they were doing,” Emil told Look Local. “They took all of the prestige cars and although some sounds of erratic driving were reported in Oughtibridge at around 4am, nobody locally heard anything. “I can’t believe it. They’ve smashed through the door, ransacked the office and safes looking for the keys to the cars and then made off. “The roller door on the front of the showroom is really noisy, I’m surprised that nobody heard it.” EMIL BEREK IN HIS NEARLY EMPTY SHOWROOM AT DEEPCAR MOTOR COMPANY
The showroom is fitted with CCTV, but it wasn’t working at the time of the theft.
Among the stolen vehicles were an Audi A1, a white Audi A5, a BMW 5-series, a white Citroen DS3, a blue Ford Kuga, a grey-silver Ford S-Max, a gold Jaguar XF, a bluesilver Range Rover Sport, a black Mercedes CLS, a black Mercedes E Class, a black Mercedes S Class, a cream Mini One and a black Seat Exeo. They also took another three sets of keys but left the cars behind. Before moving to the current location, Emil traded where McColl’s petrol station now stands. He’s been in the trade for 35 years and has never experienced multiple car thefts before. But Mr Berek remains defiant and told Look Local that it’s business as usual. “We still have some cars so we are still open. Within three to four days we will be restocked. Thieving scumbags will not break us.” Anyone with information should call South Yorkshire Police on 101 and quote incident number 318 of September 29.
