LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — Police said there are more victims of a Bardstown car dealership accused of selling cars it never paid for.
The Nelson County Sheriff's Office said there are now 24 victims of Richardson Auto Mart, up from 16 reported in May.
Richardson Auto Mart, on New Haven Road, is now an empty lot. All that's left is a gravel parking lot and an office building. A sign on the front door says "We buy cars, buy here, pay here."
Earlier this month, the dealership's owner George Richardson turned himself in to police on a warrant in Boone County, Indiana, for two counts of theft.
Richardson isn't facing any charges in Nelson County yet. Investigators are still working on the case, but said Richardson would go to car auctions and get vehicles he didn't pay for, then sell them to people. The people who bought the cars said they still can't get the titles.
