Police say they have recovered three of the cars, a BMW, a Mercedes and the Ferrari. All of which were found in the GTA.

“I guess someone didn’t know how to drive a manual transmission and maybe one of them ran out of gas or something,” Osborne says.

He says they recovered some cars just across the street.

Investigators believe that there are eight suspects, all of which were wearing dark clothing and face coverings.

The dealership believes that the thieves will be back for the rest of the cars as they already have all the keys from the dealership’s lock box.

Lockwood Leasing is on South Service Road West near Third Line.
