FREMONT – In a scene from an action movie, thieves drove two high-end sports cars out of the showroom and through the windows of a car dealership in Fremont last month.

On Wednesday, Fremont police announced that both cars – a Porsche GT3 and a Porsche GT3 RS worth a combined total of more than $500,000 – had been recovered and a suspect was in custody.

The theft occurred around 12:45 a.m. April 4 at a car dealership in the 5000 block of Cushing Parkway.

The officers determined the direction of travel of the cars and a few hours later investigators found the Porsche GT3 RS in Milpitas. The vehicle was returned to the dealer.

On April 5, investigators determined the location of the Porsche GT3. According to police, the driver was identified as one of the suspects who stole the cars from the dealership.

Investigators arrested the driver – a 22-year-old man from Hayward – and seized the GT3.

When arrested, the man tried to throw away a loaded handgun, police said, adding that a search of his home turned up several high-powered rifles, stolen property, money and a police radio scanner.

The man was arrested on suspicion of driving or stealing a vehicle without the owner’s consent, conspiracy, being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm, being a convicted felon in possession of ammunition and resisting an officer, or to have stopped him.

The search for a second suspect, who has not yet been identified, continues, police said.
