The unique features of the car helped the police get on the trail of the criminals.
Baseball player Chris Bryant's Lamborghini Huracan was kidnapped while being transported to Las Vegas. The attackers were able to change the delivery route, but the car was returned in less than a week, which helped to get on the trail of several suspects and other stolen cars.
A player of the Colorado Rockies team commissioned a transport company to transport a Lamborghini Huracan from Colorado to Las Vegas (Nevada), where the athlete played in the off-season. However, the car never arrived at its destination. The police registered the loss on October 2 and launched an investigation.
It turned out that the transport company was the victim of a BEC attack, which allowed criminals to organize unauthorized transportation of cars throughout the country. Thanks to the analysis of data from license plate recognition cameras, it was possible to reconstruct the route of the truck and trailer that delivered the Lamborghini.
The 2023 Lamborghini Huracan had unique modifications that helped identify the car when a Las Vegas police officer spotted the car. The car was found on October 7 in the Las Vegas area, and those involved in the kidnapping were detained.
The driver of the Lamborghini said that he owns a car repair shop and received a request from a stranger from Texas to repair the car's electronic system. Another suspect was detained at the Las Vegas airport, where he was supposed to pick up a Lamborghini. During a search of the car, the police found tools for breaking into cars.
The discovery of the car was a key link in uncovering a wider criminal network. In the course of further investigation, the police obtained information about other members of the criminal group, which led to the discovery of two more stolen cars, sets of fake VIN numbers, false registration documents, electronic keys and tools for changing license plates. In addition, as part of the case, it was possible to return another car stolen earlier in California.
Although Bryant's name was not mentioned in the official police statement, the Denver Post linked the incident to him.
