BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) — Louisiana State Police are searching for 18 people wanted in a statewide car theft ring. Sixteen suspects have been arrested. An investigation into 'disparities' in Public Tag Agencies and Auto Title Companies transactions in the state was launched in January 2022, according to an LSP news release. Troopers said the total value of cars involved in this case is estimated at over $9.8 million and the estimated tax fraud is more than $300,000. This ring of suspects is accused of using fake documents to undervalue cars' actual costs to avoid taxes.
