From the City of Nashville:

June 18, 2021

Auto Theft detectives are asking for the public’s help in identifying a man suspected of using Facebook Marketplace to scam sellers of ATVs and motorbikes out of their vehicles.

The man, whose photograph (attached) has been identified by several victims, uses a fake or very vague Facebook account to communicate with the sellers. He arranges to meet a seller to view and/or test drive the ATV or motorbike, drives off and doesn’t come back. The meetings have taken place in the areas of Woodland Street, Gordon Terrace and Dellway Drive. There have been approximately nine such thefts over the past few months.

Anyone recognizing the man in the attached photograph is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 615-742-7463. Callers to Crime Stoppers can remain anonymous and qualify for a cash reward.
