A PORSCHE is left ripped apart by thieves — as it is revealed high-powered headlights are being used to grow cannabis.
The £80,000 Taycan Turismo had both front wings cut open to get to the £3,500 high-intensity discharge LEDs in Dusseldorf, Germany.
The motor's "High Intensity Discharge" lights give off more heat and require far less electricity than standard marijuana lamps, supposedly making them a prime target for drug growers.
Robberies were first recorded in Amsterdam, where cannabis is legal, a decade ago – with at least 30 high-end cars stripped of road-illuminating beams.
The thefts can take as little as 10 minutes and are said to be launched in the middle of the night while the flash car’s owner is asleep.

One Porsche driver online said they are stolen for ganja farms, as they use less power.
They claimed insurers “cited this as a factor” in not offering them a policy.
In 2012 hundreds of Porsche owners sued the German car brand in Florida, USA, alleging its headlights were too easy to steal.
The case was settled out of court.
