Luxury vehicle seized in Vallejo arrest

Vallejo officers seized a reportedly stolen sports car earlier this month despite a suspect’s claims that it was “gifted to him by an unknown friend.”

Police spotted a man in the yellow 2013 McLaren near the intersection of Amador Street and Nebraska Street on Oct. 19, according to a social media post by the Vallejo Police Department. The family who owned the car said they did not know the suspect and did not authorize him to drive their vehicle.
