Authorities say more than a dozen men arrested in overnight raids are part of a ring suspected of stealing 291 expensive cars from Brooklyn and Queens worth more than $10 million.

Police say the men used information obtained by car dealership employees to make counterfeit keys.

City Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly says the 21-member ring was doing �a swift business� in reselling Lexus and Toyota vehicles in the U.S. and overseas in Africa, Afghanistan and Yemen.

New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, who calls the ring �extremely sophisticated,� says 16 of the people indicted face felony enterprise corruption charges.

They include brothers who worked at a Brooklyn-based Toyota dealer who used cars� identification numbers to search the Toyota/Lexus database to find the corresponding key codes.
