Green Bay Police arrest suspects in “odometer tampering”

Beginning around May of 2019, an investigation led to a June 3rd arrest of two suspects that were involved in purchasing vehicles with substantial mileage, turning around to reprogram the computer odometer to show low mileage, then cashing in on selling the vehicle with low mileage for a higher value.

The suspects are Robert Solberg, a 34 year old Allouez resident, and Joshua Taylor, a 37 year old Green Bay resident. We are recommending charges to the Brown County District Attorney’s Office for Forgery and Theft by Fraud.

Multiple vcitims have come forward indicating that they have dealt with the suspects and their vehicles odometer having been tampered with. Investigators believe there may be other victims to include northern WI (Crivitz area) and also as far south as Fond Du Lac. Anyone that has purchased vehicles from these suspects are encouraged to check the history of their vehicle or contact an authorized dealership to check the accuracy of the mileage.

If any agency or other victims have information about this incident they are encouraged to call the Green Bay Police Department at 920-448-3208 and ask to speak with Detective Waln. If you wish to remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward, contact the Green Bay Area Crime Stoppers by phone (920) 432-7867, through their website at www.432stop.com, or by downloading the P3 app through Google play or App store.
