LOCK UP your Lamborghini. Police are searching for two of the $200,000 cars that were stolen, one in which a man was shot.
If you have an expensive Lamborghini sports car in the driveway, better lock it up.
Toronto Police have stepped up a search for a stolen black 2019 Lamborghini Urus SUV with a licence plate of CSB B761.
Police say the in-demand $200,000 vehicle was rented on Boxing Day from a car dealer in 11 Division and not returned.
Officers say the vehicle’s Global Positioning System (GPS) was disabled soon after the alleged renter took off with the vehicle.
“The car was subsequently reported stolen and is still outstanding,” detectives said in a release this week. “Anyone who has seen the car or has information on its whereabouts or any suspects, is urged to contact police.”
The luxury sports car, which an owner reviewed online as “sexy and blows everything else away,” was the second stolen from the Toronto area in weeks.
The vehicle has a twin-turbo V8 engine with 641-horsepower that can reach 190 miles per hour, according to its manufacturers.
York Regional Police are investigating after a man was shot during a carjacking incident last month, in which his Lamborghini was stolen.
Police were called for a report of a shooting in the Major Mackenzie Drive and Woodbine Avenue area, in which officers said a driver of a vehicle was approached by three suspects and shot in the leg.
The suspects then took off in his red Lamborghini that has the licence plate number 8EIGHT8. The vehicle is still missing.
The shooting victim suffered non-life-threatening injuries and is being treated in the hospital.
Investigators said that if you see this vehicle, do not approach it or the suspects. Instead, call the police right away.
The Urus 2019 Lamborghini is described as the ‘least-expensive’ of the sports car series. It is a four-door All-wheel-drive SUV that is popular.
Police are not sure if the vehicles are being shipped overseas for rich buyers in other countries.
