Joliet Police are looking for suspect in alleged vehicle fraud scheme

A woman accused of buying vehicles under stolen identities and selling them for cash is wanted Joliet police.

Jocelyn Buster, 27, is wanted on three counts of theft by deception, two counts of possession of a stolen motor vehicle and one count of money laundering and deceptive practices, Joliet police said Saturday.

She is accused of buying vehicles under stolen identities from local dealerships and selling them for cash to unsuspecting buyers, police said.

Those who bought the vehicles from Buster risk losing them because they are not legally owned and could be repossessed by the bank, authorities have warned.

Buster is also charged with check fraud for writing checks from a closed business account, according to police.

Anyone with information that may assist in the arrest of Buster is urged to contact Joliet PD Detective German at (815)724-3029 or contact Will County Crime Stoppers at 800-323-6734 or online.
