Multi-County Fraud Scam Involving Auto Parts Exposed in Sapulpa

On Saturday, May 25 Sapulpa Police Captain Jamie Noe was dispatched to O’Reilly’s Auto Parts located on South Main Street. He was advised that a subject was present in the store attempting to fraudulently return merchandise. When Noe arrived at the store he observed a white male at the counter, trying to return an auto part. This man was subsequently identified as Lucas Beaston (the Defendant), a Tulsa resident.

Noe made contact with a store employee and learned that O’Reilly’s had recently initiated an internal investigation related to the Defendant. Over the past several months, he has returned thousands of dollars of merchandise to multiple stores, obtaining cash refunds in the process each time.
