According to the police, they did so as part of a home invasion where they allegedly brandished firearms to coerce the victims to hand over the keys.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2024\/08\/thieves-trying-to-steal-500k-of-dodge-durangos-thwarted-by-the-dwayne-johnson-of-security-barriers\/\">Thieves Trying To Steal $500k Of Dodge Durangos Thwarted By The Dwayne Johnson Of Security Barriers<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After the theft, local authorities issued a &lsquo;Be on the Lookout&rsquo; (BOLO) for the stolen Ferrari.

That contact provided officers with the names of Slezak and Costa though. From that point forward, officers were continuously on the lookout for the car in question.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, Florida authorities in Flagler County saw the car and gave chase. Video from the county shows the Ferrari dodging traffic and ghosting officers with its high-horsepower V8. It was fast enough that even a FCSO Ford Mustang couldn&rsquo;t keep up, and they had to call in a helicopter to help track it. Even then, it was only when an officer in a patrol car spotted it hidden in a backyard under a tarp that police moved in.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>They took Costa into custody at that home and then found Slezak the next day back in Rhode Island. The two now face charges related to an armed home invasion and vehicle theft along with reckless driving.<\/p>\n<p>According to one local law enforcement officer, an investigation is underway to determine if the pair is involved in a larger operation or if this was some sort of single instance. Somewhat ironically, Costa posted on Facebook a few weeks ago that he didn&rsquo;t understand how people stayed in Rhode Island and was going to go &ldquo;far from this place.&rdquo; It sounds like he might end up incarcerated back there in Rhode Island at this rate.<\/p>\n<div id=\"e7c4c913-3924-4b2d-9279-6c00984dd130\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<div id=\"5646c171-cb6e-4e2c-8440-49013ca72758\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<p> var adpushup = window.adpushup  = window.adpushup || {que:[]};<br \/>\n         adpushup.que.push(function() {<br \/>\n             if (adpushup.config.platform !== &#8220;DESKTOP&#8221;){<br \/>\n    adpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;5646c171-cb6e-4e2c-8440-49013ca72758&#8221;);<br \/>\n             }<br \/>\nelse{<\/p>\n<p>     adpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;e7c4c913-3924-4b2d-9279-6c00984dd130&#8221;);<br \/>\n}         });<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Image Credit: Police Activity<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Police allege that two teenagers stole a 2018 Ferrari 488 Spider in Rhode Island.
