Portsmouth, Va. – Police need the public’s help in identifying a suspect involved in stealing a car and selling it online.
Detectives say on March 7, 2015, the victim and female suspect left a bar in Virginia Beach, to go to a house in Portsmouth. The woman stopped in Norfolk and picked up two other men, according to police. After arriving at the home in the 100 block of Cushing Street, the victim invited the woman and the two unknown men inside to ‘hang out’. A short time later, police say the victim fell asleep. When the victim awoke, he realized that his wallet, cellular phone, and car keys were missing. The victim also found his car missing and filed a police report.
On March 12, 2015, the victim’s vehicle was found in the City of Chesapeake. Detectives determined that the vehicle was sold through an online source called Peddle.com. Detectives have also learned that someone used the victim’s debit card in Norfolk on the same day that his wallet was stolen. Detectives have obtained a picture of the female suspect they are trying to identify, according to police.
