New Porsche to replace royalty's stolen vehicle
By : Lee Shi-Ian
SHAH ALAM: A new Porsche Cayenne Turbo S has been ordered to replace the one stolen from a Puspakom centre on March 2.
The vehicle, for a member of the Kelantan royal family, will arrive in five months from Leipzig, Germany, a source said.
The source also disclosed that the thieves who stole the RM1.42 million vehicle were still finding it difficult to dispose of it because it is the first of its kind in the country and one of only six in the world.
There are two older versions of the Cayenne in the country but comparisons are easily made between the older and newer models.
"The fact that there are only five or six of these models worldwide makes it extremely difficult to dispose of the vehicle locally," said the source.
The vehicle is available on the black market for between RM50,000 and RM70,000 but there are no interested buyers.
The vehicle is likely to be still in the country.
The thieves responsible for the incident are linked to the theft of an older version of the Porsche Cayenne in Jalan SS18/1B, Subang Jaya, on Tuesday.
The incident occurred about 4.30pm when a workshop supervisor was inspecting the interior of the purple sport utility vehicle.
A man walked into the workshop and dragged the man out and drove off.
