Ex-U.S. Navy Sailor Gets 18 Months for Stealing Government Property and Vehicles

NORFOLK, Va. – In a shocking turn of events, Genesis Calvin Moore, 25, of Hampton, was sentenced to 18 months in prison for his role in a string of high-profile thefts, including the theft of government property and the interstate transportation of stolen motor vehicles.

Moore, a former U.S. Navy sailor, was ordered to pay over $80,000 in restitution to the U.S. Navy as part of his sentence. This massive financial hit is a direct result of his brazen crimes, which included stealing a trailer full of fitness equipment from the U.S. Navy Morale, Welfare, and Recreation department on Naval Station Norfolk.

But that was just the beginning. On or about June 7, 2015, Moore stole a freightliner truck that was assigned to the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier. He then used the stolen vehicle to transport two stolen Bobcat construction vehicles to Loganville, Georgia, where he attempted to sell them via Craigslist.

Moore was apprehended by law enforcement in Loganville before he could complete the sale of the Bobcats. One of the Bobcats was returned to its owner, but Moore was not done yet. Just a month later, he stole the same Bobcat construction vehicle and attempted to sell it via Craigslist a second time.

Moore’s crimes did not go unnoticed. U.S. Attorney Dana J. Boente for the Eastern District of Virginia, along with Timothy Quick, Special Agent in Charge, NCIS Norfolk Field Office, made the announcement after sentencing by U.S. District Judge Rebecca Beach Smith.

Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Alyssa K. Nichol and Assistant U.S. Attorney Randy Stoker prosecuted the case, bringing Moore to justice for his crimes.

Moore’s sentencing is a significant blow to those who would seek to profit from the theft of government property and vehicles. His crimes are a reminder that law enforcement is always one step ahead, and those who break the law will be held accountable.
