Detroit Bank Robber Rents A Rolls-Royce Cullinan
Read the full story on The Auto Wire it can't be traced back to the bank robber thought the rental price of $1,750 a day was reasonable since he would score big time. Or maybe the guy wanted to lick the brass ring and see how the other half lives. Whatever the reason, the $500,000 ultra-luxury SUV stands out like a beacon, so police found it and a chase ensued. However, the driver was able to ditch the Rolls and get away on foot. Officers didn't find him while combing the area, so now the hunt is on. The FBI is heading up the investigation, which is common with bank robberies, so there's no word on if they know who committed these crimes. The owner of Dream Luxury Car Rental said about $15,000 in damage was done to the Cullinan. We're assuming the person who rented the Rolls-Royce SUV didn't use their real identity for the transaction. That would mean a fake ID, possibly a stolen credit card, etc. If the business has cameras that recorded the customer's face, maybe that's helping with the investigation? It's just a weird move to rent such a pricey ride to rob banks, but there's probably something psychological behind it. In the meantime, the rental company gets to take a hit on revenue as a result. As Fox 2 Detroit notes, it's not the first time someone has used one of the pricey rental cars from that service to commit a crime, which is just weird to us.

Pricey Rolls Royce rental used in several Metro Detroit bank robberies
SOUTHFIELD, Mich. (FOX 2) - It was a highly expensive rental that was used to commit theft in southeast Michigan. That is what happened when a one-of-a-kind Rolls-Royce was rented and used in a string of thefts, and the owner was unaware. The backstory Sam Zahar is the owner of Southfield's Dream Luxury Car Rental, where this week, a customer rented a Rolls-Royce for $1,750 per day. That was when the theft spree started as the suspect traversed Oakland, Wayne, and Macomb Counties, robbing banks along the way. The case is in the hands of the feds, so it's unclear how many thefts the Rolls and the renter are tied to. What they're saying Zahar didn't even know it was going on, as he only found out while scrolling through his phone, seeing a video on Metro Detroit news. "This is my car," he said. "I got a screenshot and I tried to, that's my car. I was about probably four detectives by my house driving around thinking I stole the bank because the car is under my name." The driver led police on a chase, then bailed and ran on the city's east side Wednesday night. Police were able to recover the SUV with about $15,000 in damages, with the driver on the run. Dig deeper This was, unfortunately, not the first time this had happened to Zahar, as a few months prior someone rented a car from him, then robbed a mail truck after some renters took a G-Wagon for a joyride. Most recently, a $300,000 vehicle was likely stolen during transport from Miami to Detroit. The Source FOX 2 talked with the owner of Dream Luxury Car Rental.
