Accused Lamborghini Thieves Linked To Region-Wide Crime Spree: PD

WAYLAND, MA — A trio of accused Lamborghini thieves will face charges in a litany of other crimes across greater Boston, Cambridge police said. Christian Virgile, 18, Elijah McKinney, 18, and a 17-year-old have been linked to a stabbing in Cambridge and numerous commercial break-ins across the region, according to police.

The Lamborghinis were stolen around 3 a.m. Tuesday from the Herb Chambers dealership along Route 20. The thieves used a rock to break through a glass window at the dealership. Once inside, they were able to steal car keys.

The theft triggered a security alarm, but by the time Wayland police arrived, the thieves had driven off. Wayland police were able to stop a Chevrolet Cruze that was with the SUVs. Two juveniles in that car were arrested.

Around 8 a.m., the luxury super cars were involved in a crash in Malden near Pearl and Charles streets. Elijah McKinney, 18, was arrested at the scene and appeared in court in Cambridge on Tuesday. Virgile and another suspect escaped, Malden police said.

The three were involved in a stabbing in Cambridge over the weekend, police said. A driver was slashed and stabbed after confronting a group of people jumping on cars on Hingham Street around 10 p.m. Sunday, according to police. The driver suffered non-life-threatening injuries in the attack.

They will also face charges in a commercial break-in spree involving gas stations and markets in Cambridge, Medford, Somerville, Melrose, Belmont, Wakefield and Wayland, Cambridge police said. Cash registers, ATMs and lottery tickets were stolen, according to police.
