Alleged 3-time car thief nabbed by GPS
FAIRBORN - Technology foiled an alleged serial car thief who instead of variety opted for taking the same vehicle three times.
Police say they caught up to Rahshe L. Walker, of Grierson Place, shortly after he allegedly took the vehicle from the Treeborn Apcartments on Dayton-Yellow Springs Road thanks to a Global Positioning device the owner allowed police to install after the first two thefts.
Police believe Walker took the car all three times and returned it to the neighborhood the first two. After allegedly taking the car a third time Wednesday, Dec. 9, Walker noticed he was being trailed by police down Interstate 675, said Sgt. Matt Ricketts. Walker slowed the vehicle and leapt from it, escaping into a wooded area.
Police located Walker nearby hiding under a car near his home. He faces failure to comply, receiving stolen property and obstructing officials business charges and is being held on $20,000 bond in the Greene County Jail.
