Thieves Take Ferrari 488 Following Lexus and Toyota SUV Thefts in Consecutive Heists | Carscoops
Authorities in Melbourne are requesting residents with video evidence of the thefts to help in the investigation.
As of now, police have not made any arrests related to the series of vehicle thefts.
The initial two vehicles taken were a Toyota RAV4 and a Toyota Kluger.
Additionally, a white Lexus GS250 was stolen and later used in the theft of the Ferrari.
Recently, police in Australia recovered a stolen Ferrari 488 GTB following multiple car thefts in a suburb just west of Melbourne last week. While the luxury sports car has been recovered, no arrests have been made so far. The Ferrari was among several vehicles taken during a two-day crime spree in the region.
According to the Victoria Police’s Wyndam Crime Investigation Unit, the series of robberies began around 1:40 a.m. on January 29 on Cottee Road in Truganina. It is believed that a group of three thieves entered a home through an open garage door and stole a 2010 white Toyota RAV4 and a 2012 Toyota Kluger.
Shortly afterward, several individuals broke into another home in the early morning hours and took a white Lexus GS250. However, their actions did not end there. The following night, they returned to the area with their sights set on something far more valuable.
Authorities report that the suspects broke into yet another residence and stole a black Ferrari 488 GTB. Security footage from a nearby home captured the moment the thieves left in the mid-engine supercar.
Fortunately for the Ferrari's owner, police were able to track down the stolen vehicle shortly after it was taken. The stolen RAV4 has also been recovered, but the Lexus remains missing.
Investigators are encouraging anyone who may have witnessed the thefts or possesses relevant dashcam or security footage to come forward and reach out to the police.
