A teenager has been arrested on suspicion of using stolen credit cards to rent a $240,000 sports car and a $12 million holiday home.

Mohanned Halaweh, 19, was arrested after he was pulled over while driving the 2012 McLaren coupe he had rented for $13,000 dollars and was subsequently reported stolen by its owner, Sonoma County Sheriff's Sgt Michael Raasch told the San Francisco Chronicle. Halaweh also paid $27,000 dollars to rent an estate in Glen Ellen, Sgt Raasch said.

Prosecutors have charged him with four felonies - credit card fraud, receiving stolen property, identity theft and vehicle theft - along with an enhancement charge of being in possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.
