In July 2024, Chevrolet introduced the new generation Corvette ZR1 as the most powerful and fastest Corvette ever. A few days ago, 8 copies of this model were stolen from the General Motors plant in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
After arriving at work, the employees did not notice that the cars were stolen. The thieves cut through the fence and drove the cars, and some of them were left in the parking lot of the Lowe’s Home Improvement store.
One of the police officers noticed a Corvette with factory stickers in a neighborhood 14 minutes drive from the factory, and called the factory. After checking, it was determined that 8 Corvettes were missing. An investigation was launched and 21-year-old Deantae Walker of Westland, Michigan was arrested, who, in addition to stealing the car, was also charged with fleeing from police and resisting arrest. Police are still searching for his accomplices.
The reason why the thieves chose this location is still unknown. One of the customers took a photo of the red Corvette, and the police arrived and returned several stolen cars to the factory, while others were later found.
