Disclosed scheme of theft of 15 expensive cars under the guise of delivery

In Houston, Texas, five suspects were charged with theft of luxury cars, including the couple and their teenage son. According to investigators, for three months the group stole 15 cars worth almost $ 3 million — about 250 million rubles. According to Road & Track.

According to the sergeant of the Houston police unit for combating thefts Ben LeBlanc, the defendants chose cars more than 100 thousand dollars, or about 8.3 million rubles. Among them were Mercedes, Cadillac Escalade, Range Rover, Lamborghini, Rolls-Royce and Bentley.

The suspects were not required to break into the vehicles. The investigation believes that they posed as car owners or employees of existing transport companies and changed delivery instructions. Carriers voluntarily handed over transport to them on the sites controlled by the group.

After receiving the cars, participants in the alleged scheme turned off the tracking devices and left the cars in commercial parking lots for a while. They were then transported to a port on the US East Coast and shipped overseas in containers. According to the investigation, in the accompanying documents, the rebar was indicated instead of cars.
