Kris Bryant's Lamborghini Huracan got stolen as thieves used a compromised email to reroute the sports car transportation to a different location. The Huracan was supposed to arrive in Las Vegas, where Bryant spends the offseason. The player reported it missing after it failed to arrive in Vegas on October 2 as originally scheduled.
Third baseman and outfielder for the Colorado Rockies of Major League Baseball, Kris Bryant, asked for the help of a shipping company to pick up his Lamborghini Huracan from Colorado and ship it to Nevada. It seems that this information reached people that it should have been kept away from.
During the shipment, thieves hacked an email address and managed to reroute the transport. So, the 2023 Lamborghini Huracan never set wheels in Las Vegas, where it was supposed to get. Colorado's Cherry Hills Village Police Department says the Lamobo was reported missing on October 2.
Authorities immediately kicked off an investigation. Weeks later, they tracked down a network of hackers specializing in rerouting car shipments and several other frauds.
The transport company that was supposed to deliver Bryant's Huracan from Colorado to Nevada was targeted by members of the network through a sophisticated scheme. The suspects arranged the unauthorized transport of vehicles across the country.
Members of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department's auto theft team, US Department of Homeland Security agents, and Cherry Hills Village Police were involved in the multi-agency and multi-state investigation.
The experts used license plate recognition cameras to be able to track down the lost Lamborghini and figure out which way the delivery truck and trailer transporting it went.
The assembly left Colorado on September 29 and was supposed to arrive at the player's home in Vegas on October 2. It turned out that it did arrive in the Las Vegas area on September 30, but never entered the city.
It was spotted again, on October 7. The owner of a Texas car shop told the police he was asked by a man to fix the computer system of the Lamborghini. The man was identified as Dat Viet Tieu and was arrested at the Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas.
Authorities found the car and retrieved it on October 7, retaining several suspects involved in the case. The IT-specialized thieves were involved in multiple car thefts. Police found two more vehicles that had been reported stolen.
The perpetrators also offered fraudulent VIN packages, fake registration documents, and key fobs to those willing to sell or drive a stolen car, as reported by Fox News.
Former Rookie of the Year in 2015 has been reunited with his Lamborghini. With a seven-year $182 contract that he signed with the Colorado Rockies, Kris Bryant could afford any car out there.
