During that period, special attention was given to the parking lots of some hotel complexes.

The arrested individuals mainly operated at night. They were mostly targeting Jeep Wrangler, Dodge Ram Rebel and Grand Cherokee vehicles.

The eight suspects are facing charges of vehicle thefts, and possession of burglary tools.

They were met by the investigators, and released with promises to appear, with many conditions to be respected.
