A series of thefts and robberies targeting Harley-Davidson dealerships across eastern Pennsylvania has led to charges against three alleged members of a Maryland-based motorcycle club. The incidents, which occurred between April 2 and July 20, 2025, resulted in total losses of nearly $200,000.
The suspects, Jermaine Holland, Jennifer M. Heist, and Craig Grinage, were each charged with felony counts including corrupt organizations, organized retail theft, and robbery. Authorities allege the group used a coordinated approach to steal motorcycles from dealership lots.
In one incident, an armed robbery was reported at Eisenhauer Harley-Davidson in York County on July 20, 2025. Holland allegedly attempted to take a customer's motorcycle and brandished a handgun before fleeing.
The high-speed pursuit that followed led to Holland's apprehension in Maryland, where the firearm was recovered. The incident highlighted the brazen nature of the group's actions.
Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday stated that the group made a 'big mistake' coming into the Commonwealth to commit crimes. With law enforcement partners in Maryland, he vowed to put an end to the pattern of lawlessness.
The Guerilla Motorcycle Club, a chapter of the Maryland-based Wheels of Soul, has faced similar charges in Maryland. The defendants are currently in custody and expected to be arraigned on Pennsylvania charges at a later date.
The case will be prosecuted by the Attorney General's Organized Retail Crime Section. Officials emphasized that the charges are allegations and the defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
As the automotive industry continues to grapple with the issue of organized retail crime, this case serves as a reminder of the need for increased security measures and cooperation between law enforcement agencies.
