An influencer and dirt car racer has told how he was reunited with his stolen luxury £220,000 supercar after it was stolen and taken to Thailand by a criminal gang.

Mark McCann, 51, purchased his green Lamborghini Huracan Spider in 2016 as part of a new business venture which saw him and his business partner, Mo, rent out the supercar for £800 per day.

But after quickly receiving £25,000 from customers, he and Mo fell victim to a steal-to-order car smuggling ring which would soon become the centre of a massive investigation by international law enforcement.

The Bangkok-based crime gang leader masterminded the supercar theft ring that saw £6.5 million of luxury vehicles stolen in the UK and shipped to Thailand.

Intarasak Techaterasiri, 40, who went by the alias Boy Unity, employed people in Britain to attend high-value car dealerships and either rent or purchase finance-to-buy vehicles which they had no intention of paying off or returning.
