Greenwich Police Announce Arrests in Car Carrier Scam

Greenwich Police announced two arrests after the incident in Byram Thursday resulting in a heavy police presence. On Wednesday at 1:19pm Greenwich Police Detectives became aware of a car carrier scam, also known as a vehicle transporter scam.

A car carrier scam (or vehicle transporter scam) is a type of organized vehicle theft that exploits how dealerships ship cars.

Criminals create fake accounts on vehicle transport platforms, they monitor upcoming shipments and change the delivery location.

Next, they hire a transport company to pick up the car from the dealership and deliver it to the fake address.

The vehicle is then stolen once it’s delivered to the criminals.

Officers in an attempt to intercept the larceny from occurring, responded to the Byram area for surveillance. Around 3:01pm the incident escalated when the offender arrived to the area and undercover officers identified themselves to make the arrest.

Officers attempted to stop the vehicle the offender was driving. The vehicle fled the scene after attempting to strike one of our officers. Shortly after, during the course of the incident, the vehicle struck a marked patrol vehicle while attempting to further evade police. The officer in the vehicle sustained minor injuries due to the collision. The vehicle then drove off of a ledge at the end of the roadway and became disabled. Both occupants exited the vehicle and complied with officers’ commands. Both individuals were taken into custody without further incident.

The operator of the vehicle was identified as Derek Ambioris Santana and the passenger of the vehicle was identified as Isaac Cooke.

When they came for the Ferraris, I didn’t speak up, because I’m not a Ferrari dealer. But now I’m curious about this latest crime, so I looked it up: it’s a real thing.
