Grand Theft Auto Recovery

The rear license plate did not match the front license plate, which belonged to the vehicle. A DMV computer check revealed the vehicle was reported stolen from the City of San Dimas. Further investigation led officers to believe the female occupant did not have knowledge of the vehicle being stolen. She was identified and released. The vehicle was recovered.
