Here’s an update to the Marco’s Pizza stolen vehicle incident that was reported in July…

Murfreesboro Police confirm that one of the suspects in that case is also accused of being involved in the Facebook Marketplace carjacking. 

Ja’Veon Brown, who was previously arrested in connection to the Facebook Marketplace carjacking and robbery, has now been charged with felony theft of an auto. Police say that Brown was the man who was captured on surveillance video stealing an Audi A4 from the Marco’s Pizza parking lot on July 19.
