Police in Southern California arrested two suspects Tuesday in connection with vehicle burglaries who were found riding in a car straight out of a “James Bond” movie, they said.
Yasmine Kambour, 37, and Chris Huynh, 44, both residents of Garden Grove in Orange County, were taken into custody after someone called the Irvine Police Department to report seeing them in a parking garage.
The tipster said they recognized the suspects and their 2008 Mercedes Benz C300, which was possibly involved in a string of vehicle burglaries, Fox Los Angeles reported.
What officers found was something out of a modern spy film.
“The suspect vehicle was something out of @007 movie,” the department wrote in a Facebook post.
Officers discovered a device that flips the rear license plate with the push of a button, authorities said. In addition, they allegedly found an “elaborate gas siphoning device” that transfers fuel directly into their gas tank.
