STOLEN AUTOS

The Virginia Beach Auto Theft Unit is currently investigating a series of auto thefts involving early model, four door, vehicles (1984 – 1997) with aftermarket, larger then factory, chrome rims. The vehicles have been stolen from the Diamond Springs, Shore Drive, and Lake Edward areas of Virginia Beach. Most recently one vehicle was stolen from Harper Square Apartments in Virginia Beach. Vehicles of the same vintage, equipped with similar 20 inch – 22 inch chrome rims have also been stolen from various locations in the City of Norfolk.  The vehicles are stripped of the rims, and occasionally the radios, then left at various locations in the city of Norfolk. The VBPD A.T.U is asking for the public’s assistance in locating a suspect or suspects, and the location or probable location of the missing rims and property.  Information obtained during this investigation has led detectives to a black male, in the Diggs Park area of the City of Norfolk, selling a pair of stolen rims from a green van. Anyone with information about the identification of the black male, other possible suspects, or the location of any stolen property is urged to contact Crime Solvers or  the Virginia Beach Auto Theft Unit at 757-385-4101.
