Police Seek Trio in Connection to Identity Theft, Grand Larceny Case

Police are seeking the public’s help to identify and locate three people wanted in connection with an identity theft and grand larceny case at a car dealership in Quogue this month.

Two men entered Otis Ford on 32 Montauk Highway on July 18 and entered into a contract to buy a black 2014 Ford F-150 Raptor pickup truck worth almost $60,000, police said.

When they left the dealership, the duo was picked up in a silver four-door sedan seen in the picture above, police said.

The next day, the men returned and picked up the truck after they provided a cashier’s check for a portion of the car and financed the rest through Ford Motor Credit Corporation, police said.

It was later found out that the cashier’s check was fake, according to police.

Further investigation revealed the two men stole the identity of a Texas resident, police said.

One of the men claimed he was the grandfather of the other man and was buying the car for his grandson, according to police.

The older man was described as 70-years-old and bald while the younger man was described as 25-years-old, with long hair worn in a ponytail, police said.

The driver of the sedan is pictured above in the white T-shirt.

Suffolk County Crime Stoppers offers a cash reward of up to $5,000 for information that leads to an arrest.

Anyone with information about this crime is asked to call anonymously to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-220-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.
