Three arrested in Porshe dealership heist

MEMPHIS, TN -

(WMC) - Memphis police arrested three men in connection to stealing luxury Porches from a dealership.

Douglas Scott, Jettie Harris, and Michael Ward are charged with auto theft and conspiracy after seven cars were stolen.

Harris came from Atlanta to drive the Porches hack to Georgia's capital, according to the affidavit.

Police say he pulled up into the Crowne Plaza parking lot on Second Street to get two Porches; officers were there towing the cars, which were identified as cars stolen from Gosset Porsche.

Harris drove away in his Ford SUV, and then fled on foot once on Madison Avenue. He was arrested shortly after he ran.

Ward was also in the SUV, and he was arrested in the vehicle once Harris bailed.

During questioning, he told police that one of his friends called him. The friend asked if he wanted to make $100.

That friend allegedly told Ward all he needed to do was go to Memphis and drive a rental car back to Atlanta.

Ward said he was in Memphis for 30 minutes and then spent the rest of his time in jail since the agreement.
