Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office is asking for the public’s assistance in identifying a suspect involved in stealing a 1995 Acura on June 29.
The victim was attempting to sell his 1995 Acura using an ad on Auto Trader, when the suspect set up a time and place to meet to test drive the car. The suspect and victim drove to two gas stations in Loudoun where the suspect “attempted” to get the vehicle inspected, according to authorities.
The suspect persuaded the victim to allow him to drive by himself to a bank to get money for the car sale, but the suspect was able to lose the victim in traffic and did not return.
The suspect is described as a Hispanic male who is 5-foot-8 with a medium build. The stolen vehicle is a 1995 black Acura NSX-T Coupe.
Anyone with information regarding the suspect or the stolen vehicle should contact Investigator C. Staub at 703-777-0475.
