Authorities say the nine cars were stolen from the Royal Gate dealership on Manchester in Ellisville around 12:30 a.m.
The thieves were driving a car that had been stolen earlier from Leta Honda in O’Fallon, Missouri.
Police say the tape shows four people dressed in jeans and hoodies breaking into lockboxes attached to the cars that contained car keys.
Royal Gate general manager Mark Winstead says they feel violated.
“They had it all planned out. They swarmed the cars. They were kind of hiding in the shadows. They all ran out at the same time. Took each guy 20, 30 seconds to break into a car, headed east,” said Winstead.
He estimates the loss at more than $300,000.
Two of the cars were recovered in the Glasgow Village complex in North St. Louis County.
