If it sounds too good to be true, you might want to skip that “bargain” vehicle you spotted on social media.
The California Highway Patrol has arrested a Livermore man as part of an investigation into a stolen vehicle ring, according to a Facebook post by CHP on Monday.
The suspect, who was not identified because the investigation continues, is accused of possessing three stolen vehicles, including an Amplify Orange Corvette coupe, a Jeep SUV, and a Dodge sedan.
Authorities have recovered all three vehicles, pointing out their investigation began in July after receiving word about a faulty car registration. They say the registration did not match the vehicle, and upon further investigation, located at least two more stolen vehicles after a search at the man’s home with similarly switched identification numbers.
“The sale of used vehicles between private parties is common in California, but the CHP wants to remind buyers to remember that if the deal seems too good to be true, it probably is,” CHP wrote in a Facebook post. “Operations like this will bring stolen vehicles from other states into California, where their identification numbers are switched and sold to unsuspecting buyers. When the new owner attempts to register the vehicle, they soon discover the truth. As most of these transactions are cash only, the buyer is left with nothing, and the seller cannot be contacted.”
