The Auto Theft Unit not only investigates the thefts of vehicles, but also the recovery of stolen vehicles within Cumberland County, whether they were stolen in Cumberland County or not.

The Sheriff’s Office Pawn Shop Detail is responsible for policing Cumberland County’s Pawn Shop Industry. The Sheriff’s Office employs a non-sworn civilian who acts as a liaison between the Sheriff’s Office, Fayetteville Police Department, Court System and local pawn shops. The Pawn Shop Liaison checks all pawned property that is pawned in the jurisdiction of the Sheriff’s Office against stolen property that has been entered into state and national data bases. If a pawned item is found to be stolen property, the item is put on “Police Hold” and eventually will be returned to the rightful owner after proper court proceedings take place.
