Teen suspect arrested in theft of Orlando Magic player's Lamborghini

LAKE MARY, Fla. - An arrest has been made in the theft of a Lamborghini from the Fields Motorcars dealership in Orlando.

A 16-year-old suspect is accused of breaking into the business and taking the prized possession of Orlando Magic Guard-Forward Terrence Ross.  Ross said he received the car for his birthday just a few months earlier and took the vehicle in for servicing.

The break-in is alleged to have happened just after midnight on June 1.  Orlando police officers were notified of the incident about an hour later.  

Deputies from the Orange County Sheriffs Office spotted the 2021 orange Lamborghini Urus at the intersection of Teresa and Long Rd. around 3 a.m. but it wasn't until approximately 5 a.m. that the vehicle was recovered following a crash in Maitland.  The suspect was not located.

On July 1, detectives with the Orlando Police Department's Criminal Investigations Division identified the suspect who is now charged with burglary of a structure and third-degree grand theft. 

"Detectives were able to piece together the events from that night thanks to several investigative methods, the prompt actions taken by patrol officers, and the assistance from witnesses and our law enforcement partners," read a statement sent to FOX 35 News.

The teen suspect is now in juvenile custody in Miami. 

The Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of a Lamborghini Urus starts at roughly $218,009.
