LOS ANGELES – (INT) - Ten people are under arrest for allegedly using fraudulent information on credit applications to purchase vehicles from various car dealerships located in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Diego, and San Bernardino Counties.

After purchasing vehicles using false or stolen identities, the defendants would then file fraudulent documents with the California Department of Motor Vehicles to remove lienholders and obtain a “clean title” to the vehicles.

The vehicles were then sold on Craigslist or to used car dealers.

The complaint was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court.
