YouTube star has £30k Porsche stolen by crooks who used it as battering ram in brazen petrol station raid
A LUXURY Porsche was used as a battering ram by crooks in a brazen raid on a petrol station - just minutes after it was stolen from an MOT centre. The SUV, which belongs to used car dealer Joe Betty - known for his YouTube channel 3 YouTube star Joe Betty, known for his channel Shifting Metal, had his Porsche Cayenne stolen from an MOT centre Credit: YouTube 3 The luxury SUV was used by crooks as a battering ram in a raid on a petrol station Credit: YouTube 3 A gang of men were filmed on CCTV breaking into a garage and taking off with the Cayenne Credit: YouTube According to Both cars were then driven to an Asda petrol station, where they were used as battering rams in an attempt to get inside. The Porsche, a high-end, V8 S Tiptronic S model from 2015 that's typically priced between £15,000 to £30,000, was purchased by Betty just days before the incident. He'd even lined up a buyer for it and had taken a deposit when he'd sent it for an MOT test. Read more Motors News He said: 'I bought it from an auction on the Monday, we drove it back on the same day and incredibly it was one of those rare occasions in the motor trade where we'd taken a deposit and it was ready to go out when it was stolen on the Thursday night. 'We phoned the customer that morning, just letting them know. 'They are still trying to buy another car from us but it's finding the right car for them now, because it was a very nice spec model and had all the right things they wanted. 'I haven't seen it as it's currently at a recovery yard and I'm waiting to see what happens with the MOT centre and insurance. Most read in Motors 'From what I could see [at the petrol station], it looked like it had lost engine oil. "Some rumours I'd heard from a couple of different places was that it was left running. Watch moment car thief boy, 9, sneaks into uninsured £135k PORSCHE to go on daring joyride - but it doesn't end well 'If that's the case then the engine will be no good anymore. 'The back end of the car I haven't seen unfortunately, because the last time I saw it had an Asda Express parked on it but I can't imagine it's great. 'I think it would probably be salvageable if it weren't for the engine. It would certainly be thousands of pounds of work, I would guess.' The damage occurred when the crooks reversed the Porsche into the main entrance of the store, before seemingly getting it stuck on a metal pillar. Meanwhile, the Ford was smashed into a smaller unit outside the store. The group later escaped the scene in a getaway vehicle which was on false plates. According to Betty, police took DNA evidence at the scene, but he doubts the gang will be found. He added: 'I think in the motor trade you kind of just get used to these weird and wonderful problems that you have. 'I'm quite nonchalant about it at the moment but I imagine, as it drags on and is just trickling in the background, it get more upsetting. 'It has made us think about our own security, I guess. 'We've had someone try to steal a car from the forecourt before. They smashed the window of a Fiesta ST, but set the alarm off and ran away but that's about it, really. 'We've been quite lucky up until now, in a sense but this has definitely tipped the scale. 'The police are working on it, but other than perhaps getting some DNA, which they've taken swabs from the scene, I don't think they've got much to go on, because everyone was wearing masks and the getaway car was on cloned plates. 'The footage that we had of them cutting into the MOT centre, they were so nonchalant about it that I think this is not their first rodeo. 'They've done it before and I don't think there's much hope of conviction coming to be honest.' A spokesperson for Somerset and Avon Police said: ''At 3.44am on Friday 23 May we received a report of a group of men trying to force entry to a building off the A371 in Locking. 'Officers arrived five minutes later and found the group had left the area after damaging the building. 'Officers carried out a search of the area, supported by a specialist dog team, but no one was located. 'A black Porsche Cayenne and a grey Ford S-Max were found damaged at the scene. Both vehicles are believed to have been stolen during a burglary in Commerce Way, Highbridge earlier in the night. 'The group of men are believed to have left the area in a blue Audi Q5. They were wearing black clothing and balaclavas. 'Our investigation to identify them is ongoing. 'Anyone with information is asked to call 101, using the reference number 5225143650.'

Porsche discontinues two iconic models and replaces them both with EVs
PORSCHE has confirmed it will axe two of its most iconic sports cars—the petrol-powered 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman—by the end of this year, paving the way for fully electric replacements. The announcement marks a significant shift in the brand's strategy as it leans further into electric mobility. Advertisement 4 Whittlebury,Northants,UK -Aug 27th 2023: 2022 blue Porsche 718 Cayman car travelling on an English country road Credit: Getty 4 Production of the mid-engine 718 twins will end in October 2025 at Porsche's facilities in Zuffenhausen and Osnabrück Credit: Alamy 4 Replacing these fan favourites will be fully electric versions of both the Cayman and Boxster Credit: AP:Associated Press The news was first revealed in Germany by Porsche production boss Albrecht Reimold in Automobilwoche and later confirmed by the company to Car and Driver. Production of the mid-engine 718 twins will end in October 2025 at Porsche's facilities in Zuffenhausen and Osnabrück. The move follows the earlier discontinuation of the models in Europe due to new cybersecurity laws. According to Porsche, the decision isn't about poor sales. In fact, 2024 saw a 15 percent increase in deliveries, with 23,670 units sold. Advertisement Read more on Motors However, limited parts availability and the push for electrification have forced Porsche's hand. 'We are now focused on the next chapter,' said a spokesperson. Special editions like the Cayman GT4 RS and Boxster RS Spyder will also bow out, despite previous exemptions from EU regulations. Replacing these fan favourites will be fully electric versions of both the Cayman and Boxster. Advertisement Most read in Motors Exclusive While details remain scarce, Reimold assured enthusiasts that the electric successors will maintain the fun-to-drive character. 'I've driven it,' he said. 'The driving experience will still be 100 percent 718.' Porsche CEO Oliver Blume added during the brand's recent annual meeting that the new EVs will be 'even more dynamic, even more powerful.' However, fans will have to wait a bit longer for the new generation. Advertisement The EV 718s won't launch until the 'medium term', with development still ongoing. In the meantime, Porsche is urging customers to snap up the remaining petrol-powered models while they still can. 'This may well be your last chance,' warned Car and Driver, which was among the first to report the change for global markets. The shift has been in motion since the start of 2024, when the 718 was pulled from European markets in response to stricter cybersecurity legislation. Advertisement The regulations effectively ended sales of the internal-combustion Boxster and Cayman, along with the petrol-powered Macan, across the EU. The U.S. and other regions were granted a temporary reprieve, but that window will now close in October. While the 718's days are numbered, Porsche's broader EV strategy is still in flux. CEO Oliver Blume admitted during this week's shareholder meeting that the company's previous target—having electric cars make up 80 percent of sales by 2030—is now unlikely to be met. Advertisement Despite this, Porsche says the electric lineup 'will continue to grow as planned,' including a large three-row SUV still in development. Interestingly, Porsche is also keeping its options open when it comes to future powertrains. The company has hinted it may reintroduce combustion engines or Last November, then-CFO Lutz Meschke said Porsche was 'looking at the possibility' of combining hybrid or petrol power with upcoming EVs—a sign the brand isn't closing the door on internal combustion just yet. Advertisement As Porsche moves into this new chapter, the retirement of the 718 range is more than just the end of two cars,it's the end of an era. Since their debut, the Boxster and Cayman have become icons in their own right, offering affordable performance and precise handling. Whether the electric versions can match that legacy remains to be seen. The Sun has approached Porsche for comment.
