MIAMI BEACH, FLA. (WSVN) – A Miami Beach man was arrested after investigators said he used another woman\u2019s personal information to fraudulently purchase a vehicle from a Doral car dealership, according to authorities.<\/p>\n
Dario Posada, 34, faces charges including fraudulent use of personal identification information, obtaining a vehicle by trick and grand theft, according to an arrest affidavit.<\/p>\n
Police said the investigation began April 27 after a woman reported her identity had been used without permission in the purchase of a vehicle from Doral Acura. <\/p>\n
The victim told detectives she never authorized anyone to use her credit information or act as a co-signer on the purchase, investigators said.<\/p>\n
According to the affidavit, detectives obtained dealership documents identifying Posada and a woman listed as \u201cJennifer Fleites\u201d as the buyers of the vehicle.<\/p>\n
Investigators said the scanned driver\u2019s license used in the transaction contained the victim\u2019s personal information but displayed a different woman\u2019s photograph.<\/p>\n
Authorities said the dealership\u2019s finance manager told detectives Posada arrived alone at the dealership while a woman claiming to be the victim spoke with employees by phone and provided information needed to complete the co-signer paperwork. <\/p>\n
Police said the documents were electronically signed and approved before the vehicle was released.<\/p>\n
Investigators later tracked the stolen Acura Integra to Pembroke Pines, where the vehicle was recovered by Pembroke Pines Police. <\/p>\n
Detectives also conducted a photo lineup, and the dealership finance manager positively identified Posada as the man who purchased the vehicle, according to the report.<\/p>\n
Police said detectives went to Posada\u2019s residence on 76th Street in Miami Beach on May 7 in an attempt to locate him. <\/p>\n
Family members told officers he was at work and would be advised to contact police, investigators said.<\/p>\n
According to the affidavit, Posada later responded to the Doral Police Department, waived his Miranda rights and agreed to speak with detectives before being taken into custody. <\/p>\n
He was later transported to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.<\/p>\n
