Car Thief Terrick D. Lumpkin Busted in Charlotte

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – A notorious car thief is behind bars after a federal indictment revealed a massive scheme to steal and sell high-end motor vehicles worth more than $1 million.

Terrick D. Lumpkin, 38, of Charlotte, was arrested and appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge David C. Keesler for his initial court appearance. Lumpkin faces federal charges for his alleged involvement in a conspiracy to transport, possess, and sell stolen vehicles.

According to the indictment, between November 2023 and January 2024, Lumpkin and his co-conspirators obtained stolen vehicles from various locations throughout the United States, including Charlotte, North Carolina, Illinois, and New York. The indictment alleges that several of the vehicles possessed by Lumpkin were stolen from the Charlotte Douglas International Airport.

The indictment charges Lumpkin with one count of conspiracy to transport, possess, and sell a stolen vehicle and to remove, obliterate, tamper with, and alter a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN); two counts of possession of a stolen vehicle; and two counts of altering or removing a VIN. Each charge carries significant penalties, with a maximum penalty of 5-10 years in prison.

Lumpkin was released on bond following today’s court hearing. The case is the fourth indictment filed in the U.S. District Court in Charlotte related to trafficking in stolen vehicles.

U.S. Attorney Dena J. King thanked the FBI and Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department for their investigation of the case. Assistant U.S. Attorneys William Bozin and Daniel Ryan will be prosecuting the case.
