A Roaring Spring man faces fraud charges in Carlisle after he told police his Corvette was stolen while he was attending the Carlisle Car Show.

According to Carlisle police, Joel Douglas Treece, 52, reported his 1963 Corvette was taken April 23, 2022, while it was parked near the intersection of North Pitt Street and H Street in Carlisle.
