Stolen Cars Bloodshed and Vanished Men | San Jose News

A Bay Area car theft crew’s violent underworld just got more dramatic — two members pleaded no contest to murder after a bloody beef over a stolen Lexus, while two others vanished in May last year after allegedly returning a stolen car. The FBI and Oakland PD raided a warehouse twice last year, first seizing luxury cars and weapons, then digging for bodies — with no remains found — but still no leads on the missing men. Meanwhile, plea deals wrapped up some charges: two crew members got probation, while another, Juan Montiel, got 10 years for killing a rival over a stolen car dispute. The chaos continues as prosecutors push to keep one member locked up, fearing he’ll reoffend — and the cycle of theft, violence, and disappearances still haunts the East Bay.
