THIS is the moment yobs who allegedly stole five supercars worth £500,000 from a racetrack bragged about the late-night heist on TikTok.
Racing fans were turned away from Car Chase Heroes in Tibenham, Norfolk after thieves drove away in the luxury motors.
The stolen cars include a Lamborghini Huracan, a Porsche Cayman, an Audi R8, a Volkswagen GTI and a Mercedes AMG GT.
Footage shows brazen thieves revving the red Lambo and the orange Mercedes, both of which have an estimated £160,000 price tag.
The shocking video appears to have been filmed somewhere in London after the heist in the early hours of Saturday morning.
Another clip also shows the crooks breaking into a safe and plundering the keys for more than 50 supercars.
One of the track’s pro drivers said: “I thought it was a practical joke at first.
“When we arrived in the morning, we first noticed that all the keys were gone.
“And then we turned around and saw that all the supercars were missing.”
Car Chase Heroes runs race days for petrolheads at Tibenham Airfield – but had to turn drivers away after the theft.
The pro driver said: “It was premeditated. They came prepared. There were at least five of them that night.”
It is thought the thieves sneaked onto the track at around around 4.30am on Saturday, breaking through the back gates.
Track staff were puzzled why four people living in a van and motorhome and site weren’t woken up by the cars’ roaring engines.
The driver said: “These cars are not quiet. They're supercars, so when they start up they're bloody loud.”
He added: “It's a bit bizarre, but maybe they just got lucky.”
One of the stolen motors was found on a trailer by local cops in Bristol on Sunday evening.
TRACKING DOWN
Car Chase Heroes spokesman Nik Coleman said: “We have had a very, very good response from Norfolk Police.
“I know that they're doing everything they can to find these cars -they are very distinctive.
“They are supercars that you wouldn't normally see on the road, they don't even have road number plates.”
He said around 800 petrolheads wouldn’t be able to drive on the track following the heist.
Coleman said: “A lot of people were coming to mark birthdays, anniversaries very special events.
“Our primary concern is for the customers for the people who were coming here.
“We’ll make sure that they are really welcomed when they come to the next event.
“They will be able to say they got caught up in what appears to be the great Norfolk supercar heist.
“So we're trying to keep a smile on our faces because the end of the day it is just metal and plastic and rubber.”
He added: “No one's been hurt but it is shocking these vehicles were stolen.”
