Swiss luxury car theft investigation

Overview

The July 2026 armed break‑in at a Wetzikon auto dealership led to the theft of four high‑value vehicles—an Audi, two Porsches and a Mercedes‑AMG—and a rapid police chase that resulted in crashes across multiple cantons. The Audi driver was apprehended after a crash in Ottikon, the white Porsche driver remains at large after the car was abandoned near Bubikon station, the black Porsche driver fled on foot after a crash near Horgen, and the Mercedes‑AMG driver was arrested following a crash in Rothenthurm. All four vehicles have been recovered; two suspects are in custody while authorities continue to search for the white‑Porsche driver. The investigation involves Zurich and Schwyz cantonal police, the Forensic Institute Zurich, and the state prosecutor's office. No further related incidents have been reported since the last update.
