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.
