Between November 2023 and January 2024, court documents show Lumpkin and co-conspirators were part of a scheme to steal vehicles from several states including North Carolina, Illinois and New York. Notably, several of the vehicles found in Lumkin’s possession were stolen from the Charlotte Douglas International Airport.

Officials say the group targeted high-end vehicles made by Audi, BMW, Cadillac, Lamborghini Mercedes, Chevrolet, Dodge, Ford, GMC and Jeep as well as sports-utility vehicles. After the theft the VIN numbers were altered or removed.

During the conspiracy, officials say Lumpkin often stored the stolen vehicles at the parking garage at his apartment complex. He also possessed items in furtherance of the conspiracy including a key fob programmer box and blank key fobs.

Lumpkin is currently released and will be ordered to report to the Federal Bureau of Prison upon designation of a federal facility.

Assistant U.S. Attorney William Bozin prosecuted the case.

In August 2023, five individuals were indicted for stealing luxury vehicles from dealerships throughout the United States, and two additional individuals were indicted in November 2023, for orchestrating high-end auto thefts from businesses in South Carolina.
