IFPD issues warning to peer-to-peer rental owners after suspicious vehicle rental leads to drug seizure

The Idaho Falls Police Department is warning peer-to-peer and short-term rental owners to be on guard after a local car owner helped investigators uncover a load of narcotics.

The investigation began after two individuals—later identified as known drug traffickers with active federal warrants—rented a vehicle through a peer-to-peer sharing platform. According to police, the suspects used the car to travel out of state to transport narcotics.
