For all you TC members that have been around a few (or so) years, ChevyThunder passed this along to me and I thought I would pass it on to you. It appears our famous scammer just could not get it right and is back in the slammer :hurray:. If any TC members live in or near any of these locations, keep up with what is going on with this clown. His partner "Bates" violated her parole and had to serve her time. Hmm. I wonder how old "petit theft" is now. :D

Thanks Van:

Deputies responding to a report of a hit-and-run on Sunday captured a man wanted in North Carolina as a fugitive from justice.
Christopher Sean Justin, 33, of Cameron, N.C., was caught after he allegedly fled from a traffic mishap on Central Avenue, Harrison County sheriff's officials said.
A background check showed Justin was wanted by the Harnett County Sheriff's Department in North Carolina on a charge of possession of stolen property. He also was wanted by the Biloxi Police Department on a warrant accusing him of fraud.
Justin was held without bond at the Harrison County jail pending extradition. A bond hearing is pending today on the Biloxi charge.
The Sun Herald updates this story in Tuesday's editions.

Gotta love a good story :thumbsup:

Karma sucks.

Love it Jim, thanks for the update on those creeps. Glad to see the capture system works so good. Bubba has been missing him/her.

TC is actually nailing online thieves?? You folks should get a medal or be promoted to some cabinet position :)

15 maanden cel voor criminele online autoverkopers

dinsdag 8 november 2005
Bron: Securiy

Twee autoverkopers die in Amerika bijna 30 slachtoffers wisten op te lichten zijn veroordeeld tot meer dan een jaar gevangenisstraf. Christopher Sean Justin en April Bates verdiende meer dan 60.000 dollar met de zwendel die in november van vorig jaar begon en in februari van dit jaar eindigde.

Het tweetal bood overal in de VS auto's aan op autosites. Hadden ze eenmaal het geld binnen, meestal cheques, dan werden die geïnd en verdween men zonder de auto te leveren. Justin bespeelde zijn slachtoffers door te beweren dat hij in het leger zat en de auto's probeerde te verkopen voordat hij werd opgeroepen.

"Deze zaak laat zien dat mensen die goederen via het internet kopen net zo voorzichtig moeten zijn als ze het direct van iemand hadden gekocht" zegt openbare aanklager Gregory Lockhart.

Justin kreeg 18 maanden, Bates werd tot 15 maanden cel veroordeeld. Tevens moeten de twee oplichters hun slachtoffers terugbetalen.

What did they do?

Without guys like him, the cops (well in NZ) find it hard to finalise many of these sort of cases...or further investgate due to over work and lack of time.
Its up to good citizens to stand up and support our cops, not just sit back and expect rsults....
A community that cant stand up, goes to rurn
When my Camaro was stolen, (old post a few yrs back) I started to ask questions, turned out the mail it was stolen from had higher than norm cars go missing, from there it didnt take much to find out that the security was tied up with a criminal ring of young wanta be gone in 60 secs .....
With this basic info, I presented to the insurance company and the detective in charge..
From there things expanded quite quick.
In my case the guys who stole my camaro, got arressed and bailed...but never appeared in court....It seems the word on the street was they where working for an organised bikie gang, but choose the wrong car...my camaro is a high profile car in our city, because it is a daily, and been around since the 70s...The guys who stole it where caught with the car at the front gate of the gang HQ...they where not pleased to say the least

i live in gulfport next to biloxi
