North Texas Police Dismantle $1.5M Luxury Car Theft Ring

A multi-agency investigation led by the Plano Police Department, Texas Department of Public Safety, Dallas Police Department, and the FBI dismantled a luxury car theft ring in North Texas, recovering nearly $1.5 million in stolen premium vehicles. The probe began after a 2024 Rolls-Royce Spectre was stolen from a valet stand at a high-end restaurant in Plano, with surveillance footage identifying a 2025 Mercedes S63 AMG linked to the theft. This vehicle was already under investigation by DPS for related thefts, which helped authorities connect the crime to a broader ring. On June 11, search warrants at two homes connected to the suspects yielded six stolen vehicles, including two Rolls-Royces, a Cadillac Escalade-V, a Maserati Levante, and an Audi RS7, along with firearms, body armor, and car theft tools. Three suspects were arrested for theft over $300,000, with one held without bond due to multiple felony warrants. Officials praised the precision and collaboration across agencies that brought the operation to a successful conclusion.
