Lamborghini goes missing in Dubai Marina

A man has been arrested and the police are on the lookout for two others for stealing a Lamborghini worth Dh1.1 million from a parking lot in the Dubai Marina area after forging ownership documents.

According to police records, an investor recently reported that his vehicle had been stolen from a private parking lot in a tower in the Marina area. He said that he had travelled abroad and didn’t find his luxury vehicle in the place where he had left it, upon return.

A police official noted that several reports were filed regarding theft of luxury vehicles in various emirates and so a team was formed to investigate these cases. The police managed to identify and arrest the first suspect, a Gulf resident, who had planned the theft. His two accomplices, both Asians, are still at large. The first accused admitted he had conspired with the other two to steal luxury vehicles parked in the parking lots of towers for long periods of time, after confirming the absence of their owners.

The Dubai Criminal Court convicted the men — two of them in absentia — sentencing them to three years in jail, along with a fine of Dh870,000 each.
