FREMONT – Police in Fremont announced one suspect was arrested and another one remains at large following the thefts of two high-end Porsche sports cars from a dealership last month.

Officers were called to a burglary in progress at the Porsche dealership on Cushing Parkway around 12:45 a.m. on April 4. According to reports, two suspects stole a GT3 RS and a GT3 off the showroom floor, crashing through the front windows of the dealership as they left.

The dealership told police that the vehicles were worth more than $500,000.

Hours after the burglary, detectives found the stolen GT3 RS in the neighboring community of Milpitas. The vehicle was later recovered and returned to the dealership.

A day later, cameras detected where the stolen Porsche GT3 was traveling. After conducting several hours of surveillance, detectives arrested the suspect, identified as 22-year-old Nova Moore of Hayward.

Police said Moore attempted to discard a loaded handgun at the time of his arrest. A search of his home yielded several high-capacity rifles, stolen property, money and a police radio scanner.

Moore was booked on multiple charges, including burglary, conspiracy, being a convicted in possession of a firearm and willfully resisting a peace officer. He is being held at the Santa Rita Jail, with his next court appearance scheduled for Friday.
