Police arrested a pair suspected of selling cars stolen from dealerships across Florida with help from a Cocoa woman who reported the crime in October.

In October, police received reports about a car purchased for $13,800 on Craigslist that the buyers later found out was stolen from a local dealership. Tags, title and bill of sale were all faked to push the sale through, police said.

The buyers only realized what happened when they went to register the vehicle.

Police reported the buyers noticed a similar Craigslist ad in November for a car in Delray Beach. The couple contacted area police, who organized a meeting to buy the advertised vehicle.

Delray Beach detectives stopped Delia Iglesias, 20, who showed up in the stolen vehicle before the buyer identified Brandon Gonzalez, 20, walking near the area, as the other suspect.

Both were arrested and charged with grand theft auto, organized scheme to defraud and dealing in stolen property.

Arrest records show that Iglesias and Gonzalez would go to car dealerships across South Florida posing as potential customers. Iglesias would distract the salesmen while another accomplice programmed the vehicles with a new key. The pair and their accomplices did this with at least five cars, according to police reports.

Gonzalez and Iglesias were working with at least three other accomplices, police said, who had not been arrested as of Wednesday.

Anyone with information related to the ongoing investigation is asked to call CRIMELINE at 1-800-423-8477.
