Race on to close stolen supercar pipeline

BANGKOK - Dozens of supercars including Lamborghinis, Porsches and BMWs have been stolen from the streets of the United Kingdom and shipped to Thailand in a complex scam that police from both countries are now rushing to dismantle.

Sparked by a British request to retrieve the lifted vehicles, detectives in Bangkok have launched a series of raids against dealers in recent weeks.

More than 120 top-of-the-range sports cars have since been seized, including some identified as stolen from the UK.
