In what appears to be a carefully planned operation thieves have stolen four luxury cars from garages in Chiswick.

Initially they broke into a home on Dukes Avenue whilst the owner was on holiday in the Bahamas. The break in took place between 6.30pm on Monday 5th January and 10.00am on Tuesday 6th.

The front ground floor window was forced and the burglar(s) went to the office from which they took a bag containing 10 car keys and a stereo.

They then went to a lock-up garage at the back of the Smart Cars showroom on Silver Crescent and took four of the cars stored there. The owner runs GTR Sports Cars which specialises in selling luxury cars on the internet.

The cars stolen were:

• Silver Porsche 996 turbo GT2 registration Y897 HGH, valued at £75,000
• Black Porsche 996 Turbo Cabriolet Tiptronic registration FH04 HHJ valued at £80,000
• Aston Martin DB7 Vantage Volante V12 with a Spanish registration 2372DCR - this car was unique having been shown at the Geneva motor show. It had dark metallic paint which changed colour according to the light. Valued at £80,000
• Black Ferrari 355 GTS F1 with a red leather interior E605 CRJ valued at £50,000

The victim, Mark Pullicino, is offering a reward of up to £50,000 for information that assists in the recovery of these cars. The level of the reward would depend on the number of cars returned and the condition in which they arrive.

The investigating officer in the case is PC Alex Hall who can be reached on 020 8247 5940
