NEW YORK — The NYPD is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying a woman accused of grand theft involving a fraudulent vehicle sale in the Bronx last month.

According to police, the incident occurred around noon on Saturday, October 19, outside 1475 Sheridan Boulevard in the 44th Precinct. A 58-year-old man arranged to meet the suspect to purchase a vehicle, exchanging 3,500 dollars for what was later revealed to be a fake title.

The NYPD has released images of the suspect as part of their investigation and is urging anyone with information about her identity or whereabouts to contact them.

No additional details about the suspect or the vehicle used in her getaway have been released at this time.

Officers continue to investigate the incident as they work to locate the suspect.
