Man bought cars, set up insurance account with stolen identity
MIAMISBURG - Police are still trying to piece together how a black man, described to be in his early 30s, used a stolen Louisiana driver’s license to illegally purchase five high-end cars from local dealerships within the last month.
The man used a fake identification (pictured) to not only buy the cars, but also set up an insurance account through GEICO Insurance with the stolen identity, Miamisburg Det. Jeff Muncy said.
“This isn’t your normal car thief,” Muncy said. “This person is a little more sophisticated.”
The man allegedly pasted his photo onto a valid driver’s license and bought a used Hummer H2, Land Rover and a new Nissan Maxima and Ford F-350 pickup from dealers in Cincinnati, Miamisburg and Fairfield.
The man walked into the White Allen European Auto Group, 648 N. Springboro Pike, on Oct. 9 and used the fake ID to buy a 2004 Porsche Cayenne, general manager Rick Sloan said.
“He had all the necessary documents and even had the right insurance information,” Sloan said. “Short of finger printing him, we would have never known.”
Sloan found out the man used someone’s stolen identity when the bank that approved the loan voided it on Friday, Oct. 24, after figuring out the man used a fake ID.
The suspect was able to get loans for the five vehicles because banks weren’t processing the loans quickly enough, Muncy said.
None of the cars have been recovered and all were driven off the lots with temporary tags, except the $44,000 Land Rover, Muncy said.
Sloan said it is likely his dealership will have to eat the cost of the $31,000 Porsche.
TweetPolice: Couple caught soliciting sex acts on craigslist.org
DAYTON - Police detectives arrested a couple Thursday afternoon, Oct. 30, who were advertising “very erotic massages” and “more” on the popular Web site craigslist.org.
Detectives responded to an ad earlier that morning listed on the Web site that read “Hello gentleman, if you work downtown (Dayton) why not drop in for a very erotic massage today,” according to a police report.
The advertisement also contained a picture of woman dressed in lingerie, the report stated.
Using an e-mail address, detectives set up a meeting with a woman named “Kitty,” who was later identified as Kathleen Kievitt, 35.
Adam Harris, 44, allegedly replied to the detective’s e-mail and gave a number for detectives to call. Kievitt allegedly told them she offered erotic massages “and more,” according to the report.
Kitty said she charged $200 an hour or $100 for a half hour and there was a sexual act performed at the end of the massage, the report stated.
Detectives arrived at 57 E. Riverview at about 2 p.m. and found Harris inside, along with Kievitt, who was dressed in black lingerie, the report stated.
Kievitt told detectives the couple started soliciting sexual acts after Harris was recently laid off.
Harris told them he and his wife sometime give massages to clients at the same time, the report stated. Harris said it was a way “to have money coming in.”
Detectives also found a book filled with names and phone numbers of clients who have received the erotic massages, the report stated. Officers also took Kievitt’s lingerie as evidence.
The couple was summoned to appear on charges of prostitution and soliciting prostitution.
