MIAMI GARDENS - Customers of a North-Dade luxury auto dealership
have been warned that their identities, bank accounts, even social
security numbers may have been compromised.

CBS4 News has learned that there's a criminal probe underway into
what happened at the Warren Henry automotive group, after a woman
walked in off the street and took off with a box of sensitive
customer data.

While another woman was engaged in conversation with sales personnel

grabbed a box containing the sensitive financial data of dozens of
customers who'd recently purchased fancy cars from the high-end
dealer.

The sources also say it's believed the document heist was well
orchestrated as the woman knew where to go abd what to grab. They

As a result of the theft, Warren Henry has had to contact dozens of
customers to let them know their bank accounts, credit, and other
personal information may have been compromised.
