Police Officer Accused in Auto Fraud Scheme | Washington DC News

A former Prince George’s County cop, Sierra Alston, is accused of using her badge to help a D.C. man, Renaldo Gaines, pull off a brazen auto fraud scheme involving stolen cars and tampered VINs — all uncovered after a suspicious vehicle was spotted in an Arlington garage. Alston, who joined the force just last year, allegedly leveraged her police access to aid the operation, while also facing prior charges for stealing rental BMWs at Reagan National Airport. Their arrest on July 24th has sparked outrage, revealing how even law enforcement can become part of the very crime they’re meant to stop.
