A Cincinnati driver may have made off with a complete set of someone else's wheels last Monday, and police now want help identifying the car believed to be involved. The suspect vehicle is described as a black Chrysler 300 with black rims and dark tinted windows.
According to a Tuesday request from Cincinnati police, the driver allegedly removed all four tires and rims from the victim's vehicle. Police said the suspect may be a white male, but no name or arrest was announced in the public notice.

Police Release Description Of Suspect Vehicle
The vehicle description is the main clue investigators have released: a black Chrysler 300, black rims and heavily tinted windows. Because the theft occurred last Monday but the public request came Tuesday, detectives are now asking residents, businesses and drivers who may have security footage to take another look.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Detective Hert at 513-352-4568. The police notice also lists Crime Stoppers at 513-352-3040 for people who want to provide information anonymously.
Wheel Theft Joins Cincinnati’s Broader Auto-Crime Concerns
The location of this theft was not included in the public request, but vehicle-related property crime remains a recurring concern for Cincinnati police. The department's 2026 problem-solving list includes theft from autos in the Central Business District, while an earlier project focused on similar thefts downtown and in Over-the-Rhine.
The case also follows a separate July investigation in which District 4 detectives sought a suspect accused of taking items from a parked vehicle on Albert Sabin Way, as Hoodline previously reported. In the latest case, police are asking anyone who recognizes the Chrysler 300 or saw suspicious activity around the theft to contact investigators.
