MEMPHIS, Tenn. – A woman stole someone’s identity, and used it to buy 3 cars, according to Memphis Police.

On May 3, a woman told MPD that her identity was used to purchase cars, without her permission.

The cars were bought from a City Auto Sales on Elmore Road, Smith Imports on South Tird Street, and Mt Moriah Auto Sales on Mt Moriah Road, police said.

The person pretending to be the woman, Francresha Williams, used a Texas driver’s license, fake documents, and forged the victim’s signature.

On April 28, Williams bought a BMW valued at $54,470.

On May 1, Williams bought a Mercedes Benz A220 for $42,866.

The smarter thieves are using identity thefts to commit larger crimes and generate more income from their activities.
