Two men have been charged for their alleged involvement in stealing luxury cars worth over $1 million in Riverside County. The suspects have been identified as Kendall Jamison Clark, 25, of Murrieta, and Gabriel Dean Watters, 47, of San Diego, according to the Riverside County District Attorney’s Office.
The two individuals are accused of carrying out a multi-million dollar scheme that involved stealing and selling luxury rental cars. The investigation began in September when the owners of the stolen vehicles contacted the authorities, reporting that the cars rented by Clark were never returned. It was discovered that Clark had paid for a one-week rental and picked up the cars from an owner in Lake Matthews. To their surprise, the owners found out that their names had been removed from the vehicles’ titles when they tried to report the theft.

Some of the stolen cars include a 2022 Lamborghini Urus, a 2022 Tesla Model Y, a 2022 Chevrolet Corvette, a 2021 Porsche Boxter, a 2021 Lamborghini Aventador, a 2021 Porsche Cayenne, a 2020 Lamborghini Urus, a 2021 Jeep Wrangler, a 2017 BMW i8, and a 2015 Lamborghini Huracán.
Further investigation revealed that Watters was buying the stolen cars from Clark at significantly lower prices than their actual value. Watters would meet up with Clark at various locations throughout Riverside County, pay him for a group of cars, and then transport them to other locations, including Mexico, where he attempted to sell them again.
Clark was arrested in San Diego on October 18 and has been charged with 18 felonies, including embezzlement and car theft. He pleaded not guilty and was released on $250,000 bail. His court appearance is scheduled for December 14. On November 27, Watters was arrested at the San Diego International Airport while attempting to board a flight to San Francisco. He is currently held on $1 million bail, and a court hearing is set for December 8.
Fortunately, the stolen vehicles have been returned to their rightful owners. However, Clark is still under investigation for possible involvement in other crimes. Anyone with information related to the case is urged to contact Detective Matt Guzzino of the Riverside Auto-Theft Interdiction Detail task force at 951-290-1923.
