After numerous theft complaints from local car dealerships, Prince George’s County Police’s Washington Area Vehicle Enforcement (W.A.V.E.) Team developed suspects and a case to pursue.   On August 4, 2011, detectives received information that the suspects were on their way to Prince George’s County with stolen tires and rims from a car dealership in Pennsylvania.  On August 5, 2011, detectives apprehended Pearson, Ratcliff, and McClam after they unloaded the stolen tires and rims into a storage unit in the 7800 block of Old Alexander Ferry Road in Clinton.  Daniels fled the scene, but was later identified and arrested on November 3, 2011.

 

Detectives have recovered thousands of dollars worth of stolen tires and rims from the storage unit.  They also recovered four stolen vehicles.
