Police were notified by a manager of the Hamilton County Tag and Title Office that there was a couple there attempting to get title for a vehicle via fraudulent paperwork. The officer and a detective with CPD Auto Crimes responded to the Tag and Title office and spoke to the couple. They were attempting to get a title for a white 1974 Chevrolet Caprice. The man said he purchased the vehicle down in Florida from TitleKing Express for $500. He said he found the vehicle on Facebook Marketplace. He said the vehicle needed a large amount of work and that's why it was so cheap. He said the person he purchased it from said he owned TitleKing Express. He was told by that person to come here to the Hamilton County, Chattanooga Tag and Title Office to submit this paperwork in order to get a title for the Caprice. He said once he returned to Florida with the title, then he would be able to take possession of the Caprice. He said the vehicle was still in fact located in Florida. The paperwork the man submitted to the Tag and Title Office showed the Caprice had a garage keepers lien on it for $380. The paperwork listed a man, owner of Williams Global Transport Corp, as the "owner" and seller of the Caprice. The paperwork for the garage keepers lien is consistent with other fraudulent paperwork with this exact same company listed on it in a very similar manner. This case is pending further investigation.
