car time is no longer random in this the 21st century it's organized and big business you've got a low risk crime with a high gain profit joyriders have been replaced by organized gangs using cunning and resourceful car thieves to steal our cars to order he operates 24/7 he's got unlimited resources he's doesn't respect borders or boundaries going to extreme lengths just sheer terror and it was very quickly though I saw the gun using mobiles to film themselves stealing one of the world's most expensive cars we filmed his own crime not only filmed it but saved on his phone making the most of lacks borders to run criminal export businesses how long has been going on I wouldn't like to guess upset me too much you're under arrest for and stolen Vic was a money-laundering tonight on the front line with Britain's top stolen car squad as they go after criminal gangs to reveal the truth about car crime and big business we're finding less and less every day there's only really one reason behind those that are actually leaving the country ten years ago nearly 400,000 cars were stolen each year in Britain today thanks to greatly improved car security this figure has fallen to one hundred and seventy six thousand good news or is it because of the improvement in security I can't construct about thirty five percent but what we see in London is an escalation in organised vehicle crime in Britain today criminal gangs have turned car crime into big business teams are actually going out identifying cars that they want to steal and then taking them cloning them which is reeling them and selling them off doing some purchases and it's happening everywhere in Cambridgeshire gangs are actually selling stolen cars from people's driveways but the police are on to them Detective Sergeant Peters is after an organized gang who have based themselves insignias in Cambridgeshire and the cars they're selling a cloned I'm going to the areas and where these cars have been sold from there's too soft housing estates really one side of the river there's the Amesbury area but we've had a few vehicles sold from the other side is eaten soaking we've also had big salt first we just artist one isolated incident and more and more came in so you've got a team you're going out stealing the cars I think then being pumped it out to people who know we've got that equipment to change the cars identity because also you remember you'll have tax discs and usually they're stolen from post sources with stamps you've got have v5 documents people are going to sell it this is quite a large group of people involved in one conspiracy and it's still going on it's still happening Vincent in the gang of con men using this quiet residential area as their office a Turner they phoned the number they've been given they were then be told or I cut my keeping me son will come out next you know so from that alley there somebody here driving around the car get given the keys yeah it's repossession take them out for a test drive paid the money and then next thing I as I said when I get at home you start des Peters investigation began with this man Daren poon a stock market analyst from London became a victim of the Sydney oats Gang CCTV camera show him going into the bank followed by the Centennial conman withdrawing thirteen thousand pounds for what he thought was a legitimate family car and handing over the cash there's quite good price was a good working condition we were happy to purchase it and we liked it a lot Daren discovered the truth about car crime for himself when his wife gave birth to their first child we decided that that vehicle was just not big enough you know to get the car seat in in the pram and all the shopping and all that kind of stuff so we decided to go ahead and look for a larger car Darren decided to buy used car to ease the process he turned to the Internet soon finding the car he wanted a red Land Rover Discovery he traveled from his home in London to Sydney ons an area he didn't know to meet the seller and handed over 13,000 pounds in cash everyone was happy with the car everyone was thrilled with the car you know we had something that we could get around easily in now get all the baby stuff in as well especially when I had visited laws and stuff like that bring up everything it was only when Darren poon got round to washing his new pride and joy that the truth started to dawn on him well I was giving a really good scrub down and I noticed a VIN sticker under the vehicle it's quite strange for VIN number to be in the sticker format normally it's stamped into the metal or something and I felt it and it felt like there was there's an embossed number behind the sticker basically my heart sank it sank even further when he called the police to report his concerns they came confirmed it was stolen and took it away it's left us in quite a dire situation because right now we've lost our money we've lost the car and and no one seems to have anything what any process to protect someone like myself I did a HPI check and I also did a check with a company called Michael Shack everything came back fine you know what else can someone do you know the VIN tags match the the registration mark it was all fine although the con man was caught thanks to CCTV in the bank Darren got nothing back the Land Rovers insurers told him he would have to buy the car again from them so he forked out another 13 thousand pounds it's an expensive item the idea that you can just flog it to somebody casually and there's no checking on whether that person that I'm selling it to who they are where they live what their addresses or anything else it's very vulnerable to crime back in Cambridgeshire it's 7 a.m. and des Peters and his team are after another member of the Sydney OTT cloning gang we do know this particular now we have dealt from the public times before but you never know what's going to happen so I was actually prepared just in case it goes wrong most car crooks aren't early risers today we're going to rest a chap who's been selling Motor Vehicles from his driveway he's had been arrested before as admitted parts of his involvement and but on this occasion he's also sold a Range Rover Evoque as a consequence of that we have some forensic stuff on him that we can put two man interviewing can I get some clothes off I'm arrested on suspicion of Ford by false representation handing Tsongas didn't have to say that my hundred defense you've didn't mention when questioned something you later rely on in court anything you do say may be given evidence yeah yeah my colleague will escort you upstairs make sure you get some clothes on well so we to be honest make sure you've got a page on my money to find some boxes because when they put me out on let's take a bill from the trail sent a fall down oh yeah he was bit sir it's shot by the early morning talk isn't to up it teaches harassment but why do you should be selling cars a Christian family is coming for a debate already there funny enough I didn't when you first did I like to learn the arrested man isn't the criminal brains behind the outfit he or she remains at large but for DSP ters this is a step in the right direction resumes - 735 - offenses um handling stolen goods especially for by false representation this gentleman that we've arrested really I sought mine apply we think you look at new look is sort of lifestyle is what means he's not making a great deal of money out of it and I think he's probably just sold like vehicles turn a couple hundred quid and so you take one out something else that's what I'll do that you know this is just the way to level the nice I'm from depression or the other oh yeah I you something I'd like to read them right chocolate 44 feet nexus magazines these favors okay Britten's car manufacturers are doing their best to deter criminals from stealing their cars by designing in crime prevention in Birmingham this accessory company has come up with an idea which uses biometric technology a car that only starts if it recognizes your fingerprint I'm going to try to spy and it's not going to have not going to have anything you will not be able to start this vehicle we've located the scanner up on the roof right it's asking me for my fingerprint so put my fingerprint there right it's accepted the fingerprint and that you Tyler by the flashing green LED on there right turn the key and the vehicle starts a simple as that I am going to put on here a finger that is not recognized that's really straight away and within a few seconds I will receive a text message on my mobile phone saying there's been an unauthorized attempt to start my vehicle so there you go that's how quick it is unauthorized driver is given my position longitude and latitude of where my vehicle is many hope biometrics will be the big breakthrough in cracking car crime and putting the criminals out of business but some have their doubts one of the province about crime prevention very often if you if you stopped the easy crimes you reduce the crime but you kind of up the violence so that's what you risk doing which is exactly what happened to this woman in London's Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea South Kensington is a car crime hot spot it's home to some of the Capitals wealthiest residents driving the most desirable cars when Lucy Eadie set out to visit friends one evening she had no idea that her expensive car would put her very life in danger it was about eight o'clock at night I was heading out to have some dinner with some friends and I was probably no more than about a half mile away from my own front door when this incident happened I was driving a new car Volkswagen Touareg Lucy's car was fitted with the latest immobilizer and alarm in truth her security was so good that there was only one way thieves who had targeted her car could get their hands on it I was coming up nares / place in South Kensington up to the Cromwell Road and I was the first car some traffic lights and it was a red light and I was suddenly made aware of the fact that I had a motorbike coming up beside me was a moped or something with two guys on it both Rowan black both rang helmets and looking in the car was also quick one thing I saw him looking through the window the next thing is he was sitting on the seat beside me my thoughts when he was getting into the car were just sheer disbelief followed by terror and it was very quickly there I saw the guns I knew that there was something quite hideous happening psychologically it's incredibly disturbing when somebody is threatening to kill you and you are in the incredibly close proximity of a car you're in this box with this monster I didn't say a lot when he got in and I didn't say a lot throughout the whole ordeal he was the one who kept on shouting he was very much bike helmet so it's very difficult to determine you know I knew he was a white man don't know what nationality that's all the guy could ever say to me in the car was not that he wanted me to get out of the car whether I had any money he just kept on going on on how he wanted to blow my brains out dry drive just drive just drive and so I did I drove through the red light into the cromwell road the car to stop because there were cars in front of me it's just natural instinct of just thinking I've just got to get the hell out of here and I at that point open the car door and ran I ran behind me because I just thought he was going to shoot me that you know he could aim better shooting in front of the car as opposed to me running behind my call the police immediately I had my mobile phone as in mine in my pocket thank goodness by the time you get on to the right services Department in an incident like that it's just it's all too slow you just I mean I heard them coming out into the streets but it was by then and he was sales our London probably as terrifying as her ordeal was lucy is one of the luckier carjacking victims 25 year old estate agent Tim Robinson died of stab wounds after being confronted by two teenagers when he parked his car in Battersea and father of three Mohammed Ashraf died when he was stabbed 18 times as two men stole his car we believe there's around 10,000 instance a year but there's no actual category on the books to tick for monitoring carjacking but it is part of the issue of cars being so difficult to break into now if unattended if you are keen on stealing a particular model or make of car it's just much easier to actually brutalize the person behind the wheel get them out of the vehicle threaten their safety and drive the car away the demand for expensive stolen cars is so high because the thieves are feeding an international criminal vehicle export business the little person in the chain their cut of that vehicle is relatively small that then gets multiplied by maybe five or six or seven thousand to the middle person who then simply takes the vehicle from the thief then maybe just some form of cloning if necessary and then that moves on to a shipping container and then out of the UK and then the person the rent may then be makin their sliced the people making their slice have become so big that Britain's police forces have had to change their strategy completely it's not the Bobby on the beat that can deal with this it's far more organized it crosses police boundaries it crosses international boundaries and it requires a totally different response London's police chiefs have responded by ordering its specialist stolen vehicle squad to aim high this unit has been chasing car criminals of all shapes and sizes for over 40 years it looks like they've gone out in clown audiences now they only go after the big boys those working in the business of shipping stolen cars abroad the superior authorities we are speaking to them Burnley we work out villains that are crossing police boundaries to make money from their criminal enterprises therefore the investigation needs to look into the organisation who's the boss who are the thieves who are selling the cars some of the people we've looked at have got criminal profits of between half a million and two and a half million pounds it's a national and international organized crime networks out there up to 20,000 luxury cars are stolen from the streets of Britain each year and illegally exported to countries like Cyprus the United Arab Emirates Africa and Spain the use of that kind of process is almost like the Trojan horse if you think back to your history days the Trojan horse was a gift the Trojan horse gets taken inside the city and the men jump out well on this occasion the Trojan horse is the car it drives through the ports undetected and when it gets to the other end it's not men that jumping out it's cash Cypress is one of the biggest destinations for Britain's Trojan cars it's an attractive market for car criminals since the Cypriots drive on the same side of the road as the UK and it's an open market Cypriot taxation laws mean the crooks can make more profit here than in Britain also the Cypriots just love their cars population-wise in cyprus there's 850,000 people number of vehicles registered here is 1 million so when you take out of the equation two children elderly people etc etc you can probably equate sort of every person on the island owning probably about five or six cars each which that astounded me DC's Simon Ashton and Mike Pilbeam from London stolen vehicle unit a two of Britain's most experienced vehicle examiners they believe the scale of criminal activity here is larger than even they imagine the vehicles are going out coming in being undetected you know once we start sort of as I say opening up this corridor of communication the problem may escalate into something bigger than what we think it is at the moment the Cypriot police are just as concerned and have started to crack down on this criminal trade they've been seizing cars they believe to be stolen from the UK but they need the help of the British car squad English vehicle index Lima kilo 0-6 Oscar victor golf they reliant upon us because of the information coming out of the UK is not as free as they would like it we are sorting that out so that they can have a direct link with UK sources direct links are one thing training the Cypriot police to recognize a stolen British car is quite another there's only a certain amount of Secrets I suppose and a knowledge that you can write down most of it is Mazal for personal experience and that you can actually pass on to other people whatever their lack of first-hand knowledge the Cypriots have clearly been seizing the white cars get up all right shown stolen since it's 29 to the 407 from e4 just out of fact sent through from the office back in London and it confirms that the rain driver that stolen last year has been shipped out and been rear-ended in Cyprus on it's stolen identity identifying cars isn't an easy job the hardest thing is trying to find identifiers stamps and chassis numbers obviously only to know the ins and outs of each car as they confirm the stolen cars Britain's car cops are uncovering a worrying truth about getting bent cars into Cyprus you don't have to go to too much trouble what we're finding is some of the cars that have been shipped out to to Cyprus have come out on bogus UK identities and they're changing the number plates but all the other identification marks on the vehicle like these tempting VIN numbers and the visible VIN numbers they haven't been altered and then they've been registered in Cyprus to get a Cypriot identity the police team are also finding cars that have been hired from rental firms in Britain and then shipped here from my examination here it's it's a real vehicle to the genuine vehicle that was manufactured by Mercedes it it's not a clone vehicle however there is an allegation on this particular vehicle that it was hired back in the UK and not returned at the due date they've gone and given false details for the the purpose of still in the vehicle easy and simple I'm surprised at the ease of which they do it I mean how long has been going on how many vehicles have come into this country and obviously they go on to other countries I wouldn't like to guess absolutely too much DC Ashton's upset is today offset by the joy of recovering so many stolen cars since we've been here the vehicles that we've taken for further investigation we're probably nudging about a million pounds worth and it could have been even higher if the thieves had got their hands on more of this type of stolen car this is um Bentley GT automatic about a hundred thousand pounds worth of vehicle probably less than ten turn out stolen on the UK register what have they spent to actually get the vehicle here and change the identity probably a couple of thousand if that you know so quite a handsome profit for just one vehicle this trip may have been a success but DC Ashton knows the truth they are not yet on top of Britain's car criminals in the majority of crime you're one step behind and will never ever stop them but we're not that far behind them the Cypriots to believe they are catching up and remain confident that they'll be able to reduce the amount of trafficking in stolen British cars the avoidance of what countries are fully aware of the problems we strongly believe that eventually the culprits will be arrested and prosecuted back in London the car squad is starting to see the fruits of its labors after a 24 month investigation DC Ian Slaney and his team have shattered a gang who earned millions by exporting stolen luxury cars via Holland to the United Arab Emirates in the Middle East by smashing this gang we've stopped millions of pounds with the vehicles they'd been stolen purely because of their value and the fact that they can be taken to another right-hand-drive country where they can be sold for market value the gang were responsible for stealing one of the world's most expensive sports cars a McLaren SLR worth over three hundred thousand pounds and one of the fastest cars on the road it's a very rare car and very desirable there's only 1,600 made I believe and actually in the UK it probably maybe 20 or 30 when DC Slaney and his team first came across the gang two years ago in London they used hidden cameras as part of their covert surveillance you get it they're gone yeah when we first visited the address we actually saw this car sitting outside on his driveway now this is an Audi rs6 and it was displaying German number plates at a time which we thought was odd because it's a right-hand drive it wasn't long before they got sight of the mr. big they believed was the leader of the gang this is the first time we actually physically saw him this is the man mr. Imran Khan Genki as soon as he could DC Slaney seized again she's Audi and examined it and this is the Audi rs6 of his season charlieseo 2 4 3 alpha what he found surprised him it actually been rung on to a car from another country helping Yoshi it's seen a car advertised and it actually copied the details from that car and put them on this one I'll be videoing everything as is when DC slay lien Co went into a rest kaanchi their covert video cameras were there too after much noise inside each opened the door and you could see him running around thinking what am I gonna do coming in with a video there was just so much there he couldn't possibly flush it down the toilet or rip it up missed again she was surrounded by forged registration plate making machines VIN numbers everything that you would expect to find for someone involved in a major conspiracy for shipping stolen cars into a first bedroom these packs of number plates in their blanks on his driveway was a stolen BMW x5 again on German number plates okay this is the key that we took from Imran Khan again she's pocket we're gonna see if it was a vehicle and there we go it's open it was one of the best finds I think I've had in my career there was identities of numerous vehicles pictures on his computer on his cameras we had hundreds of identifications for vehicles that we already know have been stolen in the UK here we go I will now put some gloves on we'll see if it starts it shows now open so this trip trusting them we also found some personal belongings belonging to mr. Obama Tomkinson when we made checks we realized that her car had in fact been stolen some three or four days previously how the gang had obtained the key to tear apart on concerns car remains a mystery but mobile phones recovered during the raid provide a clue and the discovery of a new 21st century way of targeting and stealing expensive cars they drive around and with their mobile phones they'll put on their notes or a text message the registration number and the VIN number of a car once armed with that information they were getting someone to forge paperwork the vehicle registration document MOT certificates insurance to the kids and they'd actually take those documents along with a forged passport to a dealer in Europe they were relying on the dealer falling for a story of my cars being locked in a car park I'm stranded in a foreign country please help me out and they're actually applying for a spare key for the car they then travel back to the UK simply walk up to the car and drive the car away this person we took out was a major player in organized vehicle crime taking out the major play up wasn't enough Ganges gang were still at large and responded by driving their stolen cars to Birmingham Airport and hiding them legally in the car park they didn't notice the CCTV system this is Miss Tomkinson z-- BMW entering the car park followed by another stolen Mercedes and here three members of Ganges gang a court leaving the alarm was only raised when an attendant suspicions were aroused and he called the car squad more a car pan in Birmingham and where datum of this 645 CI Cabell a BMW that's on these lymphoma and BMW led DC Slaney right back to gonchi an East London mr. Ganges home address in Ilford we found a number plate making machine now this machine have actually kept imprints of the number plates he'd been making on a real we sent the number plates from both these cars to the lab along with the real that were recovered from mr. Ganges address and the lab was actually able to say that the exact number plates on these cars in Birmingham Airport had been produced from the machine that we'd seized in mr. Ganges home address armed with the evidence they needed the car squad started to systematically smash Ganges gang with a series of dawn raids you're under arrest some didn't even have time to get out of bed before Cellini's men were in answers obviously off but if you don't have the same thing for the my home mister you simcha doogee has been arrested inserting this dustbin that inside I've just found a ripped up testicle it's got another ten months and once again mobile phone seized by the police revealed the truth about their activities and their barefaced cheek are not appear this is the extremely rare McLaren SLR the only one stolen in the UK at the time Khan Mubi incredibly the thief filmed himself taking it an SLR McLaren you don't get to drive every day he thought I know I'll preserve this for four years to come and show my mics look there's me driving a third of a million pound car he filmed his own crime and not only filmed it but saved it on his phone there was just one other member of Ganges gang to catch the master forger decease Laney had just one clue a single fingerprint but it was enough for them to find and arrest the man at his house in Luton he was a design specialist and he managed to produce on the best forgeries that we've seen on this unit for some years getting stolen cars out of the UK has also become an art form the truth is Britain's container ports have become overwhelmed and a prime criminal shipping source the ports will in the UK are effectively a sieve the length and breadth of the UK ports are shipping containers out of this country the level of data that's actually required by the freight forwarders should include the details of the full content of the container there is clear evidence that that is not the case Tilbury on the Thames is one of the largest ports in Britain with only a small number of police dealing with vehicle crime they know they've got a problem with stolen luxury cars passing through but there's been little they can do today that changes a crack car squad led by DC Greeks has moved in to help it's a huge problem at the end of the day after vehicle seems to a leveled out the recovery of those vehicles is not will be finding less and this everyday there's only really one reason behind that I think is that actually leaving the country mainly viola ports I don't in case you need that Greeks nose ports he worked at Folkston for four years poor police of this week they've looked at what's traveling out of the pool and they've requested certain things to be put to one side for us to come and check today as part of the operation Griggs will coordinate a week-long blitz on till buries containers based on information is received one of the aims of today in this way here stretching it some sort of idea they're stealing scale of it really could be refined non could be the containers got on top of it isn't it that we've got intelligence that a number of vehicles will be exporting in containers the unit here our primary concern with valve seat counterterrorism immigration and there's only a small unit actually deal with vehicles the intelligence includes putting two and two together when examining container manifests which often conceal the truth chocolate boxes right we've certainly seen it on our too many occasions to recall where we went down inside scars or veins or motorbikes or whatever in there the electrical goods are good cover for it look at that this is something we would have to unload virtually item by item it's very time consuming quite expensive and we can only do one at a time yeah sometimes hitting paydirt is all about punches and experience there some inconsistencies with a manifest on this one which we need to check out sometimes is clerical errors and sometimes it's purposely missed manifested we won't know until we check it out household effects and use freeze and freezes there's no time to wait PC Whittaker has another suspicious container in his sights I'm back all righty Oh here's did every good house know some people might keep cars fares in the house a lot of motorbike bits opened it's the obviously weight on the Weybridge and I think this one alerted their suspicions because it was so heavy obviously we've opened it up and there's a number of engines and gearboxes of bits and pieces and obviously that increases the weight so one of the reasons why we've stopped this container you want to check on that I've been here we've only got bits of it over the container doesn't contain a car whiskey seven four eight victors go but it is a stolen vehicle for sherry was reported stolen someone's proud of doing that at one time as she started in 2005 a face on a 2003 plate this one is all see seen better days and the squads having one of its better days there's good news about the BMW for the police the BMW is actually a stolen vehicle or I think it's stolen from from Warwick Warwickshire again it's another classic example for quite high-value vehicle being exported without interception of the ports place that that vehicle would have never been seen again and once they are exported to outside the UK's often very difficult to get get those vehicles vehicles back Interpol estimates that illicit trafficking of stolen vehicles generates 10 billion pounds for criminals worldwide the biggest losers in all this are the insurance companies and that started resorting to unusual ways of trying to get stolen cars back they're hiring bounty hunters like Barry Hancock from Brighton this is a Mercedes CLK that was in Dubai he's no Dog the Bounty Hunter but he is a rare breed paid by insurers to go to the countries where they're stolen luxury cars have been shipped to find them and bring them home most fit is very difficult to keep up with the professional car criminal for the simple reason that he operates 24/7 he's got unlimited resources he doesn't respect borders or boundaries whereas the police have to operate within certain parameters they have to respect borders they have to respect boundaries and this is one of the core problems I think where she is it's nice to see a home at long last Britain's new bounty hunters are making a good living as the insurers increasingly turned to them the reality is you say it's a growing market it's very lucrative for the bounty hunter they can locate the vehicle in foreign country by normal means simply by observation wandering around looking for the vehicle check to see whether it's on the register has been on Finance our outstanding stolen and then what you're saying to the insurance companies I know where your asset is agree with the insurance company a settlement figure and then effectively the bounty is their reward for recovering a stone bid so fashion a small dent in it this was one of a number of vehicles which was stolen by a gang that was operating in the UK but a lot was shipped to the UAE to go further afield into Africa and Asia in the Middle East berry created his business from a gap in the market the business side of it is to try and recover their losses ultimately the police are not there to recover assets they're there to detect it they will help with seizure but when it comes to recovery that is not their job the truth is that the police are unable to put a complete stop to the illicit container trade that is a huge financial cost to scan every single container completely absolutely completely that leaves this country we would grind the country to a halt feeding the organized crime car export business is a full-time job and many 21st century car thieves are now going nowhere near the streets or car parks or your drive they simply steal your identity walk into a car showroom and steal a valuable car by using Bank or hire purchase finance we know of for definite at least a thousand cases of vehicle fraud affecting finance companies each year and to put that in perspective that costs the industry and therefore our customers something like 17 million the end victim for this kind of crime is the average man in the street because it means that he is paying a higher price for a product than he would do otherwise London's car squad is onto this new way of stealing cars DC Hargreaves has become an expert in what is called vehicle finance fraud already in his team have recovered five and a half million pounds worth of cars which have been taken in this way the city massive nationwide problem with finance fraud primarily because it's so easy to carry out all you need is some fake documentation go into a dealership and because the dealers want the custom often the not that they could get the vehicle and once they've got a vehicle they pull one payment two payments than the vehicle disappear the very clever very resourceful people more intelligent and they are more difficult to investigate DC Hargreaves is now hot on the trail of another major vehicle finance fraud criminal of all the drive licenses you can see before you on this table now it's the same same individual these are not forged driving license if they have been issued by the DVLA but there have been applied for fraudulently using other people's details on each occasion - slightly altering his hair and slight variations and facial identity but there's no doubt that it's the same person ironically this car crime fraud stir only got rumbled because he liked to drive around in the cars he obtained by finance fraud it made a sharp-eyed policeman suspicious we carried out checks on these vehicles found other the world finance and that's when we found that fraud had taken place on virtually all the vehicles the Audi's and BMWs were all registered to one address a restaurant in East London and the identities the man was stealing belonged to restaurant employees it's in possession of one forged passport with obviously with his photograph on somebody else's name that's the 12 month prison sentence in my view is easy it's definitely a professional fraud stir this passport were examined by the Immigration Service that they believe that it is a very good forgery indeed so obviously he has a an associate who's part of this network who is expert at forging UK passports meanwhile down the road in Tilbury sit hard boy the crackdown on stolen car exporting is in full swing the 4x4 is worth more than 50,000 pounds but is it stolen super fine / fine we've got a check on it and he's going to Johannesburg and we did it is come up as pilots so we contact the finance company I don't want it to go obviously spraying you all right so few thousand dollars fifty sixty thousand fires with a motivator it's potluck one day lots of stuff can get shipped a next day everything could be legitimate I mean that's that's the shipping industry we don't know exactly what's going out and what is we've got to physically come here get down and get dirty and get the numbers and check and that's the only way we can do it it's not only containers that police are interested in Tilbury also ships a huge amount of roll-on/roll-off stock the crooks use this as a pipeline as well most the cars are starred on the windscreen have already been checked by um by the local force here my value vehicles just a selection really the ones that haven't been picked out already I've got the glass for the VIN number and Phil the boots will learn of other goods then they world it shut so the because inside I don't get stolen when it reaches its destination that chick say thanks Mike there are also quite suspicious of vehicles like that they've been parked right at so you can't see the registration plate and some of them have been ripped off as well DST has his eyes on a car which looks a cut above the rest could you get clear op C to make a phone call to them to see if the finance has been paid and if they want it seized Yeah right mark I've just spoke to Claire it's confirmed they don't want it to leave the UK some of us obviously finance their vehicle originally and stopped paying for it and they still owe several thousand pounds to the finance company so if that one won't be leaving the country too difficult if we had not furnish today it would have been on a boat to West Africa and almost certainly would never be seen again it's very difficult to keep on top of finance fraud because we can only investigate what we've what we find or what the finance companies send in as a suspected crime so though there are other offenses taking place out there that we don't know about you see they're two different photographs now these are both genuine as a genuine driving license genuine passport and they've been checked with both TV line and passport agency in Manchester car cops from all over Britain are coming together to work in concert against the organised finance fraudsters this team is part funded by the finance companies themselves initially we'll be knocking on the address if there's a no answer within a reasonable time there will be false in entry the squad are after a gang who specialized in fortunately obtaining Aston Martins they got onto them when this Aston was

Karnes house along with several others we've got a selection of keys here and we got the ignition key for an Aston Martin which was in the vehicle we're looking at one was totally obtained this one receives from one of the bedrooms get another key an Aston Martin so they're all what the things worth to Aston Martin three again we've got logs but they're manual relating to an Aston Martin as well so it's all hard evidence if he turns around and says he's got no link to that car he doesn't know anything about it then why is his name address date of birth linked on sit on a on directors report from cut these hounds and these are the items of proof of identity that is actually used at the dealership those question as to whether the the photographs are the same person although sometimes when you're looking at Commission on hundred ten thousand pound car and your attention might be elsewhere at a time at Tilbury Docks the crackdown on stolen car exports is nearing the end of the road at this time the team believed there's a stolen Porsche behind the electrical goods time for plan B a broom handle a mirror and some luck well as it world is away GOx offset the cost to see 120,000 pairs of the port yeah he came to the five-day darkroom yeah ricochet stop it they have none there is no Porsche but 4dc tidy there is one last roll of the dice he's not calling about that there's to be a Mitsubishi Pajero stuff at the back of the container it's covered with their household goods include chairs pedal cycles it's not facility secure so you gotta make sure we can get through safely without injuring ourselves hey Dane can you get to it so is that the front there man I'll just say he got the windscreen here you see in so with the torch you can see with inside the vehicle itself which is obviously the front of it completely with an obviously company up with cardboard and mattresses last oh no retailers reporting in Tri years of the 21st the 4th this year this car isn't stolen or a finance fraud it's been hidden in the container to save money by avoiding export duty have I put them in there they can hide them away so they do that with stolen vehicles but they do that also to prevent them paying any taxes there we are peaceful place where you find out what it was where's open most of Britain wishes there would be more results but the inconvenient truth about car crime is that it's as bad as it ever was it's the way it happens that has changed I think you can get to stage where you make it harder and harder and harder to steal cars and less people do it like any crime there are still very intelligent very sophisticated very organized criminals that will still try and steal cars and make a profit from them but the police believe there are ways we can thaw the new breed of car criminals the dealerships should carry out more checks because the the offense takes place when a person goes into the dealership produces faint documents and that's when the problem initially Starla's if we can get the cooperation of the end markets where these vehicles are going and get them seized on import this will make the thieves life a lot more difficult in the meantime the thieves will continue to make our lives difficult because they have such a lucrative business better even than the drugs trade it is true that to take a vehicle abroad and realize the asset and get the cash it's a relatively simple process and put that into drugs high-risk and potentially login it doesn't take a lot to work out why vehicle crime in general is a more lucrative form of crime the crook from Cambridge just selling stolen cars off his driveway pleaded guilty to fraud and handling stolen goods the mastermind of the multi-million pound gang exporting stolen cars was jailed for six years the thief who recorded himself stealing the McLaren sports car on his mobile phone got two years his accomplice got a 12-month suspended sentence the gangs master forger got three years Lucia DS carjackers were never caught but she did get her vehicle back all charges against the men involved with the fraud gently obtained Aston Martin were dropped
