The Wyoming Highway Patrol says it found two Colorado men trying to smuggle a pair of stolen Lamborghinis through southern Wyoming last month.

Andrew Adam Blackman, 35, and Dassman Fadil, 32, each face one count of felony theft, which is punishable by up to 10 years in prison and $10,000 in fines, on suspicion of shutting off the GPS trackers on two Utah rental Lamborghinis and smuggling them through Wyoming. ... Their case rose to the felony-level Carbon County district Court on Thursday.

Both Rentals

The investigation started May 26 at about 11:34 a.m., when Wyoming Highway Patrol Trooper Jay Scheel, of the Rawlins division, received a complaint via dispatch that one white Lamborghini and one green Lamborghini were speeding through Wyoming on Interstate 80, though they weren’t supposed to leave Utah, according to an evidentiary affidavit filed in the case.

The reporting party, the cars’ owner Joseph Lober of New Port Richey, Florida, had reported both cars stolen from the North Salt Lake, Utah, area, the affidavit says. ... Lober told law enforcement he’d not heard from a third and fourth man, also from Colorado, who had rented the cars. ... The men who had originally rented the cars are not charged in a Wyoming criminal court. It is unclear if they are different men or false identities masking the men now charged.
