Thieves steal supercar belonging to motorsport champion David Reynolds' racing team

Footage has captured a group of alleged crooks stealing an “impossible to miss” supercar belonging to motorsport champion David Reynolds' racing team from a warehouse in Melbourne’s southeast.

A supercar belonging to motorsport champion David Reynolds' racing team has been stolen from a warehouse in Melbourne’s south east.

CCTV footage, shared by Reynolds’ Team 18 racing crew on Friday, catches the alleged crooks springing their plan into action.

“Vision shows the thieves arriving in a truck at approximately 6.45am on Sunday morning, January 26, before they break in through the side door of the team’s storage factory,” the team said.

“The pit stop car is then seen being driven out of the warehouse, followed by the truck.

“The front gates of the complex were broken off the rails during the robbery.

“We’re extremely frustrated and disappointed by this.”

Reynolds’ racing team said the vehicle, used as a pit stop practice car, is “impossible to miss”.

“This car is impossible to miss — a Holden VE Commodore featuring Team 18 branding, Supercar wheels and tyres, plus a spike insert and fuel insert,” they added.

David Reynolds, originally from Albury, won the 2017 Bathurst 1000 with co-drive Luke Youlden.

Reynolds’ Team 18 Commodore is one of hundreds to be nicked across the suburbs in recent months.

Crooks have begun deploying a new-age hack to gain access to the vehicle without a set of keys, driving away with a pair of stolen wheels in a matter of minutes.

The hack — which the Herald Sun has chosen not to detail — involves a piece of technology sourced from the internet and can bypass the Commodore’s security system within seconds.
