In a daring overnight heist, thieves broke into Adventure ATV in West Point, making off with two high-performance Sport UTVs and leaving significant damage in their wake.
The incident occurred shortly after midnight, catching the attention of surveillance cameras that captured three individuals entering the dealership. As alarms blared, the thieves swiftly executed their plan.
According to the dealership owners, the perpetrators seemed intent on securing the sport and high-performance UTVs, spending mere minutes inside but causing extensive chaos. They rearranged other vehicles, damaging walls in the process, before ramming through the garage door, which was found on the ground the following morning.
Co-owner Sonny Jameson expressed frustration, stating, “No, it’s tough. You know you got it the second time it’s happened in a couple of months. It’s a similar type of situation but you know it. It’s just frustrating. We have 20 employees. Everybody works hard, you know, and you hate it when something like this happens. So, hopefully, the police… they’re gonna try hard and get this thing figured out.”
West Point Police Chief Avery Cook assured the public that efforts were underway to track down the culprits. “We got out. We combed the area. We put the drone up to see if we could see anything. We’ve been out since that time trying to work on this and solve this case,” Cook stated.
The stolen vehicles—a gray four-seater Polaris RZR and a red two-seat CanAM Maverick—are valued commodities in the UTV enthusiast community. Authorities are urging anyone with information to contact Golden Triangle Crime Stoppers or utilize the P3 Tips app to assist in the investigation.
Residents and business owners in the area are encouraged to remain vigilant, as investigations continue into this audacious crime that has shaken the local community.
