D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) joined U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro on Wednesday to announce the takedown of a high-tech international car theft ring that authorities say stole vehicles across the mid-Atlantic and shipped them overseas for profit. 

Federal prosecutors charged multiple suspects in connection with the operation, which Pirro said spanned across D.C., Maryland, and Pennsylvania, and relied on sophisticated technology to steal cars in under a minute.
