Police searching for a couple accused of car consumer fraud

BOSTON, Mass. — Massachusetts State Police is looking for a couple buying cars, setting back the odometer, and reselling them.

Police are working with the Missouri Highway Patrol to investigate a series of consumer frauds involving a man living in Connecticut and the Kansas City Metropolitan area.

According to Police, the suspects purchase a vehicle from Craigslist, change the car's mileage reading, and place it back on Craigslist. Police say some cars' odometers may not have been tampered with.

The investigation reveals the couple has purchased and resold about 48 vehicles within the past year in the Kansas City Area. It has not yet been determined how many have been sold in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut.

The suspects do not use their names. The man is approximately 5’9”, medium build, and has an “East Coast” accent. The woman usually stays in a green Nissan Quest minivan with their children during the transactions.

Police are still trying to determine the number of victims.
