Joliet police are looking for a suspect in an alleged vehicle fraud scheme

A woman accused of buying vehicles under stolen identities and selling them for cash is being sought 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 purchasing vehicles from local dealers under stolen identities and selling them to unsuspecting buyers for cash, police said.

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

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

Anyone with information that could help lead to Buster’s arrest is urged to contact Detective German of Joliet PD at (815)724-3029, or contact Will County Crime Stoppers at 800-323-6734 or online.
