Investigators say they were auto thieves in Ventura County with a need for speed. Detectives say they've broken up a ring with ties to four Southern California counties which focused on stealing expensive high performance cars. The ring is blamed for stealing 16 Dodge "Hellcat" cars in the county. They are high performance versions of Dodge Chargers, worth more than $90,000 each. As investigators realized the specific cars were being targeted, they discovered the same thing was happening in San Bernardino County.
