Seven Stolen Cars Uncovered | Louisville News

A Lexington car dealership fell victim to a slick fraud scheme when they sold seven vehicles to a fake nonprofit, Verdigris Botanica Tribal Nation—only to discover payments never came through. Realizing they’d been scammed, the dealership reported the cars stolen, triggering a multi-jurisdictional manhunt. License plate alerts led officers in Elizabethtown to intercept a Jeep and make an arrest, then uncover two more stolen vehicles at a house. By Saturday, Hardin County deputies recovered a fifth car. The investigation is still ongoing as authorities race to find the remaining stolen vehicles and unravel the full scope of this elaborate scam—a stark reminder that even tech-savvy systems can’t always stop clever fraud.
