The thieves are seen pushing six dirt bikes out of the building. The bikes are taken to the waiting truck, and the thieves drive away from the scene.
According to deputies, the total value of the dirt bikes is more than $50,000.
Deputies also say that the crime is part of a recent trend that has happened in other states including Mississippi.
They say the dirt bike thefts are popular because the bikes do not require keys to operate. Also, they do not have to be registered to get license plates. That makes them easier for the thieves to sell.
