SALT LAKE CITY — Police believe they have identified the man believed to have stolen a $234,000 Lamborghini from the Salt Lake City International Airport.

But as of Wednesday, investigators had not found the alleged thief or the missing car.

Sy-Cari Admin Cooper, 20, was charged Tuesday in 3rd District Court with theft, a second-degree felony. Charging documents state Cooper "does not have a known address and is believed to be transient," while police told KSL.com on Wednesday they do not believe Cooper is in Utah.

On June 9, a woman returning from a trip went to the third level of the parking garage at the airport where she had left her Lamborghini Urus on June 1, only to discover it "was no longer where she had parked it," charging documents state.

Detectives reviewed surveillance video and determined the car was stolen on June 3. Police say the keys were left in the vehicle which was also unlocked.

"Based on the preliminary investigation, detectives believe the suspect flew into Salt Lake City on June 3. The suspect went to the airport's parking garage and started checking car doors," according to a statement from Salt Lake police. "When the suspect came across the Lamborghini, he found the car unlocked with the keys inside, allowing him to steal the car."

Police released surveillance video of the car being stolen and information about a possible suspect.

A search warrant affidavit served in June says, "The vehicle is equipped with technology which will enable police to track the vehicle." Investigators say the car was last believed to be in Texas, but authorities had not located it as of Wednesday.
