The suspected thieves used a stolen pick-up truck with a metal chain to snatch the hinges off the door of the V1 Moto Ducati Honda dealership, according to authorities.

The owner told Eyewitness News that the thieves managed to get three Honda dirt bikes out of the store before being chased away by a wrecker driver.
