ALBUQUERQUE – The Albuquerque Police Department’s Auto Theft Unit arrested three individuals early Thursday morning following a commercial burglary and vehicle theft at an auto dealership in the Southeast.

On Jan. 15, 2026, at around 4:00 a.m., APD responded to a burglary at an auto dealership, located at 300 Wyoming Blvd. SE. Investigators learned through their investigation that the suspects rammed the entrance gate, forced entry into the business, and stole approximately 40 key fobs to vehicles and approximately 80 vehicle titles. Seven vehicles were also taken from the lot.

Auto Theft detectives responded to the scene and began an investigation alongside Southeast Area field units. Detectives located three of the stolen vehicles at a residence near 508 Pennsylvania St. SE, including a stolen trailer, a Toyota 4Runner, and a Chevrolet Malibu.
