Supercar thief stole Saudi prince’s £97k Rolls Royce by filling in DVLA form – then sold it to a car dealer in Huddersfield for £27k
Brazen Mohammed Humza, 26, clamied he was lawful owner of flash motor belonging to Sheikh Mohammed Alibrahim
A SUPERCAR thief pinched a Saudi prince's £97,000 Rolls Royce Phantom Coupe — simply by filling in a form to the DVLA, a court heard.
Mohammed Humza, 26, claimed in a V62 form he was the new owner of Sheikh Mohammed Alibrahim's luxury motor after spotting it parked in Mayfair, London.
He then ordered new keys from Rolls Royce and sold the vehicle to Shaks Specialist Cars in Huddersfield for £27,500 along with a Blue BMW 5 Series and a White Mercedes-Benz A Class.
Sheikh Alibrahim says he was unable to reply to the DVLA on whether the ownership had changed because he was abroad.
The prince said only he and his chauffeur were allowed to get behind the wheel and claimed the car was inspected every week.

Fraudster Humza also used the same scam to claim he was the lawful owner of a Porsche 911 belonging to art collector Nicholas Cattelian, a Ferrari California belonging to Sara Duncan, and an Aston Martin DB9 belonging to Jake Urich.
Today at Southwark Crown Court he admitted one count of theft and five counts of fraud by false representation.
The crook, wearing an Armani sweater and smart blue trousers, remained stony-faced as he was warned he will be locked up when he is sentenced later this month.
Judge Martin Griffith said: "You have pleaded guilty to what are clearly serious matters, I'm sure you have been told that the chances are you won't be leaving this court in liberty the next time you come.
"As an act of mercy I'm prepared to allow you time to sort out your family arrangements."
Humza, of Watford, was released on conditional bail with an electronic tag until his sentencing at the same court on March 13.
