Her car was transported to Kabi Auto at 124 Manville Rd. in Scarborough, in the Eglinton-Warden Aves. area, where staff refused to release the victim’s car.

When police attended the business to retrieve the car, one of the owners was arrested after refusing to release the vehicle to officers.

After obtaining a search warrant, police found two stolen cars on the premises — a 2015 BMW M4 and 2017 Ferrari 4GS, a combined value of over $400,000.

The BMW’s engine and front end had been removed from the car when seized by police.
