Two men in North Carolina are accused of running a scheme that turned stolen trucks into a rental business, and investigators say the operation moved more than $630,000 worth of vehicles before agents shut it down. The catch that should worry everyday people and small businesses is the part about who ended up driving those trucks. According to authorities, the suspects rented the stolen rigs out to people and companies who had no idea what they were getting behind the wheel of.
The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation says the case came to a head Wednesday morning, when agents served search warrants at properties in Hope Mills and Hoke County. The operation was the result of a multi-agency investigation that had been building for some time. When the dust settled, investigators had recovered a serious haul of stolen hardware.
