Police Intensify Search for Shaq’s Stolen Range Rover
The search for a stolen Range Rover, valued at $180,000, continues in Georgia. The vehicle was customized for NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal and was reported missing earlier this month. Authorities from the Lumpkin County Sheriff’s Office are leading the investigation.
Details of the Theft
According to investigators, the luxury SUV was stolen from a fabrication business in Lumpkin County. It was supposed to be transported to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, for O’Neal to use during an LSU game. Instead, it vanished en route to Atlanta last week.
Investigation Update
Law enforcement officials are actively pursuing leads. They have identified multiple potential suspects and have secured search warrants to further their investigation. The spokesperson for Effortless Motors, the company that customized the Range Rover, stated that they have been in collaboration with O’Neal since 2023.
Transport Company Security Breach
- FirstLine Trucking LLC was responsible for transporting the vehicle.
- The company reported a hacking incident that compromised their system.
Reward for Information
Effortless Motors is committed to solving this case. They are offering a reward of $10,000 for any information that can assist in locating the stolen Range Rover. This incentive highlights the importance of quick action in recovering the vehicle.
Features of the Customized Vehicle
The Range Rover was specifically designed to accommodate Shaquille O’Neal’s height of 7 feet 1 inch, along with other luxury upgrades. This customization not only made the vehicle unique but also a significant target in this theft.
The investigation remains ongoing as authorities continue to gather information. The hope is to return this luxury vehicle to its rightful owner soon.
