U.K. police found four stolen Mercedes in a shipping container, leading to the recovery of $8.3 million in missing sports and luxury cars in Thailand, some were stolen as long as 8 years ago

They were initially purchased using fraudulent means before being quickly air-freighted to Bangkok, where they were then sold again through actual dealerships.

Why cars from the U.K., though? The fact that they’re right-hand drive, like Thai cars

Most of the vehicles were mid-to-high-end sports cars, like Nissan GT-Rs, BMW M4s, and Porsche Boxsters. There was even a Civic Type R and Mustang convertible in the mix. However, the indisputable crown jewel of the collection was a Lamborghini Huracan Spyder. Most were taken from dealers, but the Lambo was stolen from someone who ran a supercar rental business.
