Edelsten's $1.4m luxury car heist

THIEVES have driven off with $1.4 million worth of luxury cars owned by medical entrepreneur Dr Geoffrey Edelsten.

The expensive cars include a Lamborghini Aventador valued at around $800,000.

The Herald Sun says a dark blue Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS Gullwing worth $500,000 and a black BMW 335i owned by Dr Edelsten's wife Brynne were also stolen.

The thieves are thought to have entered the security car park at the Exhibition Street apartment block in Melbourne where the couple live early Sunday morning while Dr Edelsten was in Adelaide.

It's believed the Lamborghini and the Mercedes were taken then and the thieves returned the following day and drove off in the BMW.

Police have since recovered the black and gold Lamborghini and are confident of finding the other two cars.
