Last month, authorities began investigating stolen vehicles from dealerships during which they alleged the male suspect disguised his identity and provided fake identification.

Police say the suspect would arrange to test drive or request to look at the vehicles and then once he had the keys and the sales associates were distracted, he would flee in the vehicles.

On Thursday, police say Arshdeep Gill and his girlfriend Navdeep Kaur were arrested at his residence.

Gill faces three counts of theft of a motor vehicle, four counts of possession of stolen property and two counts of fraudulently personate another person.

Cops added Gill is also facing 19 counts of failing to comply with a release order.

Kaur was charged with possession of stolen property.
