Overview

  • The $180,000 2025 Range Rover was fraudulently removed from a Dahlonega, Georgia, fabrication shop between Oct. 20 and 22 and never reached its planned delivery in Baton Rouge for an LSU game.
  • Investigators say the SUV likely moved into the Atlanta metro area, and they have executed multiple search warrants and identified persons of interest.
  • The Lumpkin County Sheriff’s Office is working with telecommunications and vehicle telematics providers to trace the vehicle’s movements and locate suspects.
  • FirstLine Trucking LLC, which was arranged to transport the SUV, later claimed its system was hacked, and authorities are reviewing the company’s role in the handoff chain.
  • Effortless Motors, which customized the SUV for O’Neal’s 7‑foot‑1 frame, is cooperating with law enforcement and has offered a $10,000 reward; O’Neal has not publicly commented.
