EUCLID, Ohio — Spitzer Honda in Euclid was the latest car dealership to be targeted by thieves; police said the business was broken into early Saturday morning, but no cars were stolen this time.

The general manager of the dealership said thieves used a rock to break a building window. Desks and drawers were disturbed, but nothing appeared to be missing, and no cars were stolen.

“We've done a lot of precautions there, making sure all keys are secured, and we have way of monitoring our cars,” said General Manager Jerry Bencar. “It's unfortunate this crime keeps continuing in the city, and I hope that things get better.”

Bencar said the damage didn’t impact his business.

If you have any information that can help, you’re asked to call Euclid Police.

This is the fifth attempted theft from an area dealership in the last month. Most recently, Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson’s truck was one of five luxury vehicles stolen from a Mercedes-Benz dealership in North Olmsted.
