A woman defrauded an app and took off with an Irvine rental car which was found in Riverside

A woman is suspected of using a stolen driver’s license to create a fraudulent account to rent a vehicle on Turo, according to the Irvine Polide Department.

The car was reported stolen by the owner and recovered in Riverside County.

The woman is fair with long brown hair and a large mole on her jaw/neck. She appears heavyset and has major eye bags.

Turo appears to use rental cars that belong to individuals who allow their personal cars to be rented out.

Presumably the suspect never intended to actually pay for the rental or return the vehicle. Unfortunately for her she is now looking at felony theft charges.

If you can help uthe police detectives to identify the suspect, please email amena@cityofirvine.org.
