A group of thieves may be cheating people in Southern California out of thousands of dollars by sabotaging their cars in order to trick victims into selling the vehicles for a lower price.
Surveillance video captured the group of three apparently tampering with the engine of an SUV that a Corona man was selling. At least one other man said the trio swindled him out of thousands of dollars too.
Three men quickly answered his ad, but when they showed up at his Corona home, Hernandez said something strange happened: the car began leaking oil, the “check engine” light came on and the vehicle was barely drivable.Sign up for NBC LA newsletters. Shocked, Hernandez couldn’t understand what happened to his SUV, which he said was running perfectly fine before the men showed up. It wasn’t until he looked at his surveillance video that he said he realized the three men had sabotaged his engine.
