Man steals vehicle while posing as rental car employee

A man pretending to be a rental car employee stole a vehicle being returned by a customer.

The customer dropped off their rental vehicle at 4000 International Lane around 2:45 p.m. on Monday.

They told police a man approached them saying they could leave the keys with them and he would take care of the rest.

The customer informed the front desk of this encounter and continued on with their day. Front desk staff reviewed video a short time later and realized the person who approached the customer was not an employee.

The stolen vehicle has been listed in the appropriate databases. This remains an ongoing investigation.
