Alabama Ringleader Sentenced To Prison For $800,000 High-End Car Theft Scheme
A 30-year-old Alabama man, Jamarus D. Hoskins, has been sentenced to a combined 8 years in federal prison for his involvement in a massive nationwide car theft ring that netted over $800,000 in stolen luxury vehicles. The scheme, which spanned multiple states and targeted high-end car dealerships and private citizens, has led to a substantial crackdown by federal authorities.
Hoskins, a resident of Greensboro, Alabama, was convicted of conspiracy to steal at least 18 luxury cars and of possessing stolen vehicles. A jury found him guilty in November 2024, and in a court hearing this week, Hoskins was sentenced to 60 months for conspiracy and 97 months for possessing stolen vehicles. The sentences will run concurrently, amounting to a total of 8 years in prison.
