Suspects Stole Luxury Cars From Dealership, Rammed, Stole, And Totaled A Police Car

A group of individuals caused havoc in Illinois last week – after stealing a number of high-end vehicles from a dealership and ramming a police car that tried to block the entrance, they stole and totaled another police car. Two of the suspects are in custody while the search for others is still ongoing.

As reported by Lake and McHenry County, the incident took place on Sunday, January 22. Officers from the Barrington Police Department responded to a call about suspicious activity in the Motor Werks dealership which sells cars from Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Porsche, Honda, Infiniti, and Cadillac.

When the police arrived at the scene, they saw “numerous offenders stealing vehicles” from the car lot. An officer tried to block the exit with the police car, since the security gate had been opened. One of the offenders rammed the squad car with a stolen vehicle, allowing other suspects to flee the scene.

According to the police report, the individuals caused four separate crashes in nearby locations after driving in a reckless manner, resulting in five injuries and “significant property damage”. Speaking to the Daily Herald, Dave Dorn, Barrington Police Chief said that two people were seriously injured.

Among the stolen vehicles was a blue Porsche Taycan which was heavily damaged in the process. Sources suggest that the offenders also stole a police car that was left unlocked and crashed it after a high-speed run on the highway, although this hasn’t been confirmed by the police.

The two suspects that remain in custody – Tavarius Jackson (27) and Lamont Jackson (23) – were violating their parole for prior felony convictions, and now face a number of serious charges for the multiple-car heist. Tavarius Jackson is reportedly the one who rammed, stole, and totaled the police vehicle. The judge set a bond of $100k for each one of them, while the police are still on the hunt for the other offenders.

Gearhead Nirvana: We Visit Porsche’s Atlanta Workshop Where Classics Get Reborn

Maintaining any car is a duty that different owners approach in vastly different ways. For some, a few zip ties and a rattle can of spray paint is good enough. Far on the other end of the spectrum are owners like the ones who take their car to the Porsche Classic Center in Atlanta. During our trip there to see the new Macan EV in virtual reality , we had the opportunity to tour the Classic Center as it was deep in the midst of multiple repair and restoration projects.  To the owners of these cars and to the Porsche brand itself, what these mechanics, technicians, upholsterers, and painters are preserving is heritage. The center’s mantra “As good as new. But with even more character” is on display for anyone who visits the site.

The New Honda Prelude Will Be A Global Model, But It Won’t Be A Toyota GR 86

Image
Last month, Honda rolled out the red carpet for the the hybrid Prelude Concept , heralding the comeback of a historic name in the motoring world. Now, this car has been given the green light as a global model, set to cater to both right- and left-hand drive markets. However, it might not quite rev up to be the full-throttle sports car many enthusiasts were anticipating Despite being labeled a concept by Honda, the car presented at the Japan Mobility Show (JMS) looked quite production-ready. And if we know anything about Honda, they have a knack for unveiling thinly-disguised production cars as concepts. Take the last two Civics, for example. The 10th-gen Civic Concept was more or less the Civic coupe of that generation with a more aggressive stance and altered bumpers, while the 11th-gen Civic Prototype was virtually the same sedan that made it to production.

As Good As New Porsche 918 Spyder With Just 43 Miles Could Fetch $2 Million

Image
This Porsche 918 has been kept in a climate-controlled storage facility ever since it was delivered. The car is one of just four Hong Kong-spec 918s in existence. Driving the hypercar is a 4.6-liter V8 hybrid powertrain with 887 hp. A 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder that has never been registered will be available at a Hong Kong auction running from April 2-5 and is expected to sell for between $1.5 million and $2 million. The 918 Spyder launched as one of the ‘hypercar holy trinity’ alongside the Ferrari LaFerrari and McLaren P1. While there are many low-mileage examples out there, few are thought to have been driven less than this one. Over the past decade, it has been driven less than 70 km (43 miles) and has been owned by a single person in Hong Kong. It has also never been registered for road use. The listing doesn’t specify how the car has racked up 70 km without being registered. Read: This Porsche 918 Is One Of Just 2 With A Gulf Oil Livery Nevertheless, this car i...
