A Mercedes-Benz owned by Warriors interim head coach Luke Walton was among the many cars stolen in an Oakland Hills crime spree last week, according to NBC Bay Area.

A district attorney said Walton's car was stolen by two suspects that are wanted for attacking a 75-year-old woman, according to NBC Bay Area. A home burglary and another missing Mercedez-Benz are part of the police investigation.

Lamonte Campbell, 20, was charged on Monday with car-jacking, assault with force likely to produce great bodily injury, first-degree residential burglary, unlawful driving or taking of a vehicle, and evading an officer with willful disregard, according to the Contra Costa Times.

Walton's car was later crashed in East Oakland.

Walton has filled in for head coach Steve Kerr as he recovers from two off-season back surgeries. The Warriors, who have started the season 15–0, could become the first team to win their first 16 games with a victory against the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night.
