A stolen Porsche 930 Turbo was recovered in Sarasota, Florida, recently. The brown 1977 930 Turbo, valued at $250,000, disappeared in the dark of night from the Sarasota Classic Car Museum, on June 14, 2023. The break-in triggered the security system, but exterior surveillance video wasn’t clear enough to reveal the identity of the shadowy suspect breaking into the museum.
However, an anonymous tipster’s phone call to Sarasota Police detectives led to the arrest of Daniel Boyce, 36, of Sarasota. The tipster reported that Boyce was spied in possession of the Copper Brown Metallic Porsche 930 Turbo at an undisclosed warehouse. After pursuing subsequent leads, the detectives tracked down the Porsche 930 Turbo with assistance from the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office and the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office.

It was later determined that Boyce had cooked up a fraudulent title and tag for the Porsche 930 Turbo. Thus Boyce faces a felony charge of scheming to defraud (in excess of $50,000 in value).
Boyce was arrested on Friday, July, 21, 2023, on a Sarasota County warrant for failing to appear in court for a charge of Grand Theft Auto. He is being held without bond in the Sarasota County Jail.
Regarding the June 14th burglary, Boyce is considered only a person of interest, however. Further charges may be filed pending the ongoing investigation. In addition, Sarasota Police detectives suspect that there may be more victims of Boyce. So their investigation continues.
