Joliet Fraud Artist Rips Off Auto Buyers, Still At Large: JPD

JOLIET — An accused frauster in Joliet, 27-year-old woman Joceyln Buster, was at large and the Joliet police were seeking the public's help capturing her.

The agency shared a photo of Buster on Saturday night.

According to aFacebook post, the Joliet Police Department is seeking information leading to Buster's arrest. She is wanted for three counts of theft by deception, two counts of possession of a stolen motor vehicle, and one count each of money laundering and deceptive practices.

Buster is suspected of purchasing vehicles under stolen identities from local dealerships and subsequently selling these vehicles for cash to unsuspecting buyers, police said. These buyers are at risk of losing the vehicles as they are not legally owned and may be repossessed by the bank. Police say they believe Buster is also involved in check fraud, writing checks from a closed business account to various people and businesses.

Anyone with information leading to the location and arrest of Jocelyn Buster is encouraged to contact Detective Jeff German at the Joliet Police Department by calling 815-724-3029. Citizens can also contact Will County Crime Stoppers at 800-323-6734 or online if they wish to remain anonymous.
