“But as the valet did not bring my car for a long time, I went to enquire about it. I was informed that they were unable to find my car at the spot where it was parked,” the complainant’s statement read.
Upon reviewing the parking area’s CCTV footage, Khan discovered that two unknown individuals had arrived in another vehicle and left with his BMW. The police stated that they began working to identify and catch the suspects.
