A bright green McLaren 750S belonging to Detroit businessman and social media influencer Ali Sobh was stolen from his driveway in the Boston-Edison neighborhood. Video footage surfaced online showing the supercar performing donuts at a street takeover in front of spectators.
Sobh, who has approximately 1.1 million social media followers, turned to his audience for help locating the vehicle. Tips from followers pointed to a possible location near Six Mile Road and Telegraph Road. Sobh passed the information to Detroit police, who recovered the car.
Detroit police are now reviewing footage from the street takeover and working to identify those responsible for the theft. Authorities have not announced any arrests. It remains unclear whether the person performing donuts was involved in the theft.
Sobh claims the McLaren is worth approximately $500,000. He says he plans to improve security around his home to prevent another theft.
