Police said an on-duty patrol sergeant conducted a traffic stop of the truck and noticed the moped serial number was defaced as he was approaching the driver.

Police said the truck driver told the officer the moped belonged to his passenger. The woman passenger then told the officer she had purchased the moped about a week ago and had been riding it around, police said.
