Three teenagers are behind bars after a gang broke into a Sydney car lover's home and stole a number of luxury sports cars.

Two of the vehicles have been found but one classic sports car, a black Jaguar sports sedan, remains missing.

The 42-year-old car enthusiast was asleep inside his West Pennnant Hills home, along with his wife and seven children, when he was woken by the gang at 3.40am this morning.

Three of the alleged thieves, aged 16, 17 and 18, were arrested a short time later after crashing the Range Rover into a nearby M2 motorway on-ramp.

The teens were taken to Ryde Police Station, where they were charged with aggravated break and enter commit serious indictable offence in company and two counts of be carried in conveyance taken without consent.

All three have been refused police bail and will appear in court today.

The Chevy was found abandoned just after 8am in the neighbouring suburb of Castle Hill and is now being forensically examined by police.

One witness told 9NEWS she spotted the red Chevy abandoned on the street with its windows down in the rain.

“The first thing I noticed when I pulled over to the driveway was the bright car there with the windows open and I’m like okay, that’s a bit odd, to have such a car left on the street in the rain,” Fatima Nazeri said.
