HENDERSON, Ky (WEHT) – A call about a missing Corvette led to the discovery of eight Corvettes being allegedly stolen from the Corvette plant in Bowling Green.
According to an investigation synopsis, dispatch received a call from the Warren County Sheriff's Office stating deputies had located what was believed to be a stolen Corvette from the Corvette plant. A deputy claimed they received a call from a woman who told dispatch that a young black male in all black clothing drove up in a red brand-new Corvette with the sticker still on it.
The woman said the male got out of the vehicle and took off back to an apartment complex on Plano Road.
The manager was able to confirm the vehicle was one from their lot. Officials received word that another Corvette was allegedly found near the 500 building.
A reported inventory search confirmed eight stolen Corvettes. An officer reportedly located a dark orange Corvette on Anise Lane.

Officials state authorities were able to make contact with an apartment owner that had a camera. The footage allegedly showed all three vehicles coming into the complex. The footage also allegedly showed a white male get out, wearing a green pullover sweatshirt with a red shirt under it, grey sweatpants and a hood.
The apartment owner then called, claiming he had gone out to try and help find the other five Corvettes and had located two more in the 200 block of Cumberland Trace. Two Corvettes that were reported as black and blue were found.
Officials say dispatch then received a call from a transport driver that he had two males who scheduled for him to transport one 2017 Corvette to Michigan. He claimed when he arrived, the subject (later identified as Deantae Walker) had three brand new 2025 Corvettes waiting for transport. He also claimed he was being rushed while he was loading the vehicles, he saw that they had damage on the bottom of them, categorizing the interaction starting to seem 'weird'.
Walker was detained by officers after a chase in the parking lot. The other suspect allegedly fled the scene in a Jeep with Ohio tags. The last three Corvettes were reported accounted for.
Officials state the estimated total for all eight vehicles was $1.2 million.
Walker was transported and booked into the Warren County Regional Jail.
