Wilson/Lebanon: Nine Arrested Following Lengthy Investigation Into Multi Vehicle Theft Ring
While executing a search warrant in April 2026 as part of an investigation into the illegal sale and distribution of narcotics in the City of Lebanon, investigators discovered two vehicles with altered VINs.
With assistance from the Tennessee Highway Patrol Criminal Investigations Division, investigators determined that both vehicles had been reported stolen in Ohio and Texas. A separate investigation into the stolen vehicles was then launched with support from THP CID.
Our department worked alongside FBI SWAT, Tennessee Department of Corrections, THP CID, and the Wilson County Sheriff’s Office to execute search warrants at multiple properties across Middle Tennessee.
Investigators seized seven vehicles in total, each of which had modified VINs. Six of the seven vehicles were confirmed stolen. Investigators determined the vehicles had been stolen from Tennessee, New York, Texas, and Ohio.
During a search warrant at a property on Burford Road in Lebanon, investigators also discovered a stolen firearm.
To date, nine individuals have been arrested following the return of 32 indictments by a grand jury. The indictments include charges related to felony vehicle theft, conspiracy, theft of firearms, and other offenses.

Rutherford: Parents: Let's Talk from Rutherford County Sheriff's Office Cat's Claw Dangerous
Just because a product is legally sold to adults does not mean it is safe for children.
Products marketed as Cat’s Claw may appeal to young people because of their packaging, availability, or claims about their effects. However, these products can pose serious health risks, particularly when their ingredients are unknown, undisclosed, or not what consumers expect.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has warned about products containing MGM-15 and 7-OH, which are kratom-derived compounds, that may not be clearly disclosed on product labels. Certain products associated with this initiative have raised serious safety concerns, including reports of deaths in Tennessee.
Parents, take time to talk with your children about what they see online, what their friends may be using, and the dangers of experimenting with these products. Remind them that a product being legally sold does not mean it is harmless.
Know what your children may be exposed to. Start the conversation today.
-Parents’ Let’s Talk is an initiative of the Rutherford County Sheriff’s Office to raise awareness about products that may contain unknown or undisclosed ingredients and the potential dangers associated with their use. The products discussed may be legally sold to adults age 21 and older and should not be considered illegal drugs. Legal availability does not mean a product is safe, particularly for children.
