Two high-value stolen luxury cars worth an estimated $400,000 were recovered yesterday afternoon in Snohomish County, according to the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office.
The Sheriff’s Office said that at about 1:52 p.m., South County deputies assisted the Snohomish County Auto Theft Task Force, known as SNOCAT, in recovering a 2022 Bentley and a 2021 Aston Martin.
Investigators determined both cars were stolen through fraudulent transactions involving vehicle auctions and commercial transportation services, the Sheriff’s Office said.
The vehicle identification numbers had either been altered or were in the process of being altered in an apparent attempt to conceal the cars’ true identities and ownership, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
The investigation was led by Marysville Police Sgt. Derek Carlile, who serves as the SNOCAT sergeant, with assistance from South County deputies. The investigation remains ongoing.
