A man using Craigslist to aid in his renting of properties he did not own was arrested late Thursday night, Fairfax County police said.

Richard Hiner, 31, of Catlett, allegedly advertised rental homes on Craigslist, bringing potential renters on tours of the properties and then having them sign a rental contract with a down payment.
His victims would later learn the properties were bank-owned and in foreclosure.
Police were notified of the scheme by four victims between July 13 and July 18.
Detectives posing as potential renters responded to an online advertisement and arrested Hiner when he arrived for the meeting.
