ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Police believe they caught a car dealership burglary as it was taking place in Annapolis.

The other vehicle, a white BMW SUV, has still not been located. Detectives are working to determine whether it was stolen.

Meanwhile back at the dealership, investigators discovered two BMWs on the showroom floor with their engines running.
