This vehicle was a 2026 black Ram pickup, also displaying a Kentucky temporary tag. Both vehicles had been reported stolen from the Lexington area.<\/p>\n<p>Elizabethtown Police learned that a total of seven vehicles connected to the same incident had been entered as stolen by Lexington Police.<\/p>\n<p>The legitimate owner of the seven vehicles, Freedom Dodge, reported that the vehicles had been sold to \u201cVerdigris Botanica Tribal Nation,\u201d a nonprofit organization with an office address listed in Radcliff, but payment for the vehicles was never rendered.<\/p>\n<p>At approximately 7:45 p.m., Radcliff Police received a Flock alert through their system indicating that a different stolen vehicle was traveling northbound into their city. This vehicle was a white 2026 Jeep displaying a Kentucky temporary tag. Radcliff Police Department officers successfully located that vehicle and conducted a traffic stop. The female driver was taken into custody without incident.<\/p>\n<p>As the investigation continued, information was quickly shared among the Radcliff Police Department, Elizabethtown Police Department, and Lexington Police Department.
