Auto Theft Section

The Auto Theft Section is a unit of the Prosecutor's Circuit Court Division. It specializes in the prosecution of auto theft and related crimes such as insurance fraud, false police reports regarding auto theft, and fraudulent purchase of autos.

This section focuses specifically on organized rings and conspiracies, as well as on repeat auto theft offenders and chop shops.

Specialized assistant prosecutors in this unit follow a case from investigation (including the issuance of search warrants to aid the police) to authorizing arrest warrants, pre-trial hearings, pleas and trials, sentencings and forfeiture hearings.

This unit assists police in raising community awareness of prevention measures by addressing community groups.
