LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- After a recent inventory check, Hertz realized 11 of its cars were missing.
Now, airport police along with LMPD are working to recover all of the cars and find out who's responsible.
Hertz rents a lot on Huron Avenue off Crittenden Drive from the Louisville International Airport.
Employees there recently discovered the missing cars and contacted airport police.
Airport police then corresponded with metro police and since then, four of the eleven cars have been recovered.
Authorities couldn't go on camera but tell us the stolen cars include Chevy, Ford, Toyota, VW, GMC and Nissan.
They say they're mostly 2013 and 2014 models.
On March 11th, metro police arrested Kevon Ryan for driving one of the stolen cars.
According to documents, he told police he bought the car for $2,000 from someone in Sheppard Square, knowing it was most likely stolen.
He was arrested on multiple charges, including drug trafficking.
Police worked a similar case in May of 2013 when 14 rental cars were stolen from an airport lot.
They tracked that theft ring back to two former Avis employees who they arrested. All 14 of those cars were eventually recovered.
We reached out to Hertz for comment and received an email back, confirming the thefts and telling us they are working with police as the investigation continues.
No other arrests have been made.
If you know anything about the stolen rental cars, you're asked to call 574-LMPD or airport police.
