CALABASAS, Calif. - Authorities are asking for the public's help identifying two suspects caught on surveillance video allegedly stealing a Corvette from a dealership in Calabasas, then abandoning it at a Burger King in downtown Los Angeles.

It happened Nov. 12 at the Mercedes-Benz of Calabasas located at 24181 Calabasas Road, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. 

The suspects allegedly shattered a pane of glass on a metal roll gate to enter the delivery garage, then got into a blue 2019 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 that had a "Mercedes of Calabasas" rear paper plate.
