On Monday morning, two U-Haul trucks crashed into separate businesses in Detroit’s west side near 8 Mile Road, just minutes apart. The first incident occurred at a check-cashing business, followed by a second at Prestige Hookah Store on 8890 West 8 Mile Road. In both cases, the suspects used the rental trucks to break into the buildings, targeting ATMs. While the thieves caused significant property damage, no injuries were reported.
The incidents highlight growing concerns about the use of rental trucks for smash-and-grab crimes and the need for better security measures. Local authorities are investigating whether the break-ins were connected and have urged businesses to enhance barriers and surveillance systems to deter similar crimes.
