ATLANTA (AP) — A $180,000 Range Rover customized for NBA legend
Shaquille O'Neal was stolen in Georgia earlier this month, and
law enforcement is still on the hunt for it.
The Lumpkin County Sheriff's Office in northeast Georgia said
investigators believe the SUV was taken from a local fabrication
business and brought to the metro Atlanta area last week. The
car was supposed to be transported to Baton Rouge, Louisiana,
for the basketball star to use while he was in town for a
Louisiana State University game, but it never arrived, CBS News
Atlanta reported.
Investigators have identified multiple potential suspects and
obtained several search warrants.
A spokesperson for California-based Effortless Motors, which
customized the car and has worked with O'Neal since 2023, told
CBS News Atlanta that FirstLine Trucking LLC, which was
responsible for transporting the car, said the company's system
was hacked.
The car was being customized for O'Neal's 7'1" height, among
other upgrades.
Effortless Motors is offering $10,000 for any information that
could help investigators find the vehicle, news outlets
reported.
