UK-stolen luxury car traced to Karachi

KARACHI: A high-end luxury car stolen from the United Kingdom (UK) has been tracked down in Karachi, triggering an international investigation involving law enforcement agencies on both sides.

According to reports, the black Range Rover was stolen from Harrogate, UK, on November 22, 2022. Its mysterious journey to Karachi has raised alarm, prompting swift action from both British and Pakistani authorities.

British police sought help from Interpol Manchester, which subsequently reached out to the Sindh Police. A formal letter was sent to the Capital City Police Officer (South Karachi)  and the SSP of the Anti-Vehicle Lifting Cell (AVLC), requesting assistance in the recovery of the vehicle.

A breakthrough came on February 11, 2025, when the tracker pinged a location in Azam Basti, Korangi Service Road, Saddar Town, Karachi, reviving the hunt for the missing vehicle.

SSP AVLC Amjad Sheikh said that legal proceedings have already been initiated and expressed confidence that the vehicle will be recovered soon.
