CHERRY HILLS VILLAGE, Colo. (CBS) — Hackers recently stole former Chicago Cubs slugger Kris Bryant’s luxury car.

Back on Oct. 2, Bryant became entangled in an investigation into a vehicle theft ring. The current Colorado Rockies third baseman hired a company to move his $300,000 Lamborghini Huracan from his residence in Cherry Hills Village, Colorado, to his off-season home in Las Vegas—but the car never made it there.

Investigators said hackers infiltrated the company transporting Bryant’s car and rerouted it to different location in Las Vegas.

Police found the car five days later, according to a Denver Post report. The man driving the car told police he owned a maintenance shop and had been asked by a man from Texas to fix the computer system for the Lamborghini, the Denver Post reported.

That Texas man, identified in published reports as Dat Viet Tieu, is now charged with operating a multi-state vehicle theft ring.
