Botched heist leaves cars worth half a million smashed in the street

A chaotic scene unfolded in New York City as several high-end vehicles, with a combined value of approximately $524,000, were left severely damaged following a failed heist attempt.

In the early hours before dawn, at least four luxury cars were found wrecked after a robbery gone wrong at a parking garage on West 43rd Street in Hell’s Kitchen, Manhattan.

Video footage captured a 2025 white Range Rover Sport Dynamic SE P400, valued at about $95,000, trapped beneath the garage’s metal door.

The New York Police Department reported to W42st that the vehicle got stuck after the parking attendant lowered the gate during the incident.

Nearby, a 2023 blue McLaren Artura, priced between $160,000 and $229,000 according to Autotrader, was discovered battered and perched on a sidewalk outside a FedEx location.

A black Mercedes G-class AMG G 63 SUV, typically sold pre-owned for around $180,000, was also involved in the attempted theft, found abandoned on the road but seemingly unharmed.

Another car, a white 2018 Volvo XC60 currently selling for around $20,000, sustained damage to the driver side door and a smashed front windshield. 

‘I came to pick up my car and I saw it on the street,’ Hassam Al G, who owns the Volvo, told the outlet. 

At least four vehicles, including a $200,000 McLaren, were seen wrecked following a botched heist just before 6am at a parking garage on West 43rd street in Hells Kitchen, Manhattan

‘I was surprised. There was lots of police activity. They told me there was a robbery inside the garage, and my car was severely damaged.’

‘I’m shocked,’ he added. 

Police told the outlet that the suspects fled in a gray BMW which had not been stolen from the garage. 

Several luxury cars had been targeted in what appeared to be a grand larceny auto operation attempt, but all vehicles were recovered, police said. 

Forensic teams remained on the scene in the morning and no injuries were reported. 

As of Sunday afternoon, no arrests were announced and it remains unclear where the suspects fled to. 

According to one user on Facebook, the particular parking garage has been a target for car thieves before.

‘So thankful no one got hurt or worse. This has got to stop,’ they wrote. 

‘It’s not the first time that garage has been hit. These guys know what cars are going in and out and when.’ 

The investigation into the incident remains ongoing, according to the Office of the Deputy Commissioner Public Information.
