While most car thieves stick to dealership lots in search of easy targets, this crew aimed higher. They went straight to the source: GM&rsquo;s Factory Zero plant in Detroit. Maybe it was the irresistible lure of that fresh-off-the-assembly-line smell, but for whatever reason, they decided to swipe the EVs directly from a train.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2025\/05\/gmc-just-made-the-2026-hummer-ev-crabbier-than-ever\/\">GMC Just Made The 2026 Hummer EV Crabbier Than Ever<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There is no word on how they managed to gain entry to the GM plant, let alone access the train yard on site, but somehow, they succeeded. After entering the train yard, they were able to open the doors to one of the trains and attempted to drive off in two Hummer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/electric-vehicles\/\">EVs<\/a>.

One of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/gmc-hummer\/\">the Hummers<\/a>, finished in black, can be seen stranded on the train tracks after it appears that the passenger-side front tire was ripped off the wheel.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Train Hopping, Minus the Grace<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2025\/02\/general-motors-covered-warranty-on-soflo-hummer-ev-then-changed-its-mind\/\">the second GMC<\/a> didn&rsquo;t even make it off the train. It appears that the thieves attempted to simply drive the EVs off the edge of the train, without using any ramps. The silver model appears to have slammed down into the tracks, and once again, a tire was ripped from the wheel. It has also suffered extensive damage to the front fascia and some damage to the rear quarter panels as well.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/themetrodetroitnews.com\/thieves-try-to-steal-new-hummer-evs-from-train-in-detroit-but-get-stuck\/\">The Metro Detroit News<\/a>, the incident is being investigated, but it doesn&rsquo;t appear as though any arrests have been made at this stage.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-placement\">\n<div id=\"9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<div id=\"bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\tvar adpushup = window.adpushup  = window.adpushup || {que:[]};<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tadpushup.que.push(function() {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tif (adpushup.config.platform !== &#8220;DESKTOP&#8221;){<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t} else {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t}<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t});<\/p><\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Screenshot The Metro Detroit News<\/h4>\n<div class=\"ad-placement\">\n<div id=\"9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<div id=\"bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\tvar adpushup = window.adpushup  = window.adpushup || {que:[]};<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tadpushup.que.push(function() {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tif (adpushup.config.platform !== &#8220;DESKTOP&#8221;){<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t} else {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t}<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t});<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The EVs were driven off a train at GM&rsquo;s Factory Zero plant, but didn&rsquo;t get very far.
