They said the suspects never returned the vehicles.
Further investigation linked the suspect to a series of thefts from used-car dealerships. Investigators were told the suspects went to the dealerships, handed over stolen identity documents to get test drives of the vehicles, and then never came back.
Five people have been charged so far, including a 28 year-old woman and a 43 year-old man, both from Waterloo. Combined, the pair face over 50 charges including identity fraud and possession of stolen property over $5,000.
