Detectives in Franklin investigating high-end car heist

Seven high-end vehicles valued at approximately $671,000 were stolen this past weekend from Walker Chevrolet, 3940 S. Carothers Pkwy.

Officers were summoned to the business just before 6:00 Monday morning after an arriving employee found that a glass door into the business had been shattered. Once inside the business, thieves obtained keys and key fobs that started seven vehicles, including a Corvette valued at approximately $150k.

The Department is not releasing any video at this time.
