Police say two men ripped off two cars and were attempting another two when they were spotted by security. One suspect took off on foot, the other in the car. Both got away.

Over the past month in Arlington, thieves have taken tires off of nine different vehicles, mostly in neighborhoods on the south side of town and now in a hotel garage.
