An Auckland man is offering a “large” reward after a car worth more than $300,000 was stolen from his business warehouse in an elaborate theft that has baffled police.
Company director Paul Tweedie, 42, should be preparing his 1990 Nissan Skyline GTR for test runs at Pukekohe today before racing in the upcoming Super GT series.
Instead, he’s dealing with police and his insurance company after the car, which was painstakingly built by hand over more than four years, was stolen in a well-organised burglary on November 8.
Police investigating the theft say more than one person was involved and that the burglars may be part of a “professional” ring which has seen motorsport thefts this year tally into the vicinity of $1 million.
