MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WKRN) — Authorities are working to identify two men who Murfreesboro police said are part of an organized crime ring that sells low quality items as more expensive.
Investigators believe the ring operates primarily from Texas and have expanded to southern states, including Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
The men reportedly purchase lower-quality, lower-valued projectors, and projector screens, and passing them off as more expensive ones. Murfreesboro police reported the men claim to work for Sound Vision, which is a fake company, and have even created boxes connected to websites to make the items seem legitimate.
The projectors and screens are then sold to unsuspecting people in parking lots of businesses at a large discount.
