A Michigan man has been charged after police in Kentucky recovered eight stolen Corvettes worth $1.2 million.
NBC News reported Thursday that Deantae Walker, 21, of Westland has been charged with evading police, resisting arrest, receiving stolen property and criminal mischief.
He was further charged with engaging in organized crime on Friday, according to the Bowling Green Daily News.
The Bowling Green Police Department alleges that Walker was involved in the theft of eight luxury vehicles from the back lot of a General Motors plant in Bowling Green.
Walker was arrested after he was spotted driving a red Corvette with the price sticker still on it.
As authorities began investigating, several other Corvettes were found and confirmed to be among those stolen.
Dispatch also received a call from a transport driver who said he had a “weird” interaction with two men who wanted him to take Corvettes to Michigan, NBC News reported.
A police spokesperson told the publication they believe at least nine people were involved in the theft, which occurred when the suspects drove the vehicles through a hole cut in a chain link fence at the plant, police said.
Walker has pleaded not guilty to all charges, according to the Bowling Green Daily News.
