Over the course of three hours, he stole all four cars – one by one – from a garage and carport while a family was asleep inside the house.

According to Victoria Police, the stolen cars included:

• A red 2019 Ferrari 488 Pista with Victorian registration AYV298
• A green/teal 2024 BMW M3 Touring with Victorian registration DFR369
• A black 2009 Mercedes-AMG CLS63 with Victorian registration XLE930
• A black 2011 BMW 135i with Victorian registration XTB851

All four vehicles remain outstanding, but the Ferrari – said to be worth about one million dollars – is highly visible, thanks to its distinctive black and white body stripe.

The 488 Pista would have been one of a small number of examples to arrive in Australia from mid-2019, priced at $645,000 before on-road costs when new.
