VIN Recovery

Introduction

As car security has changed over the years, so has the type of crime associated with it. No longer are cars being taken as a means of getting home after a night out but stolen to order by OCG’s and the either cloned re identified or exported to feed a growing foreign market. The recovery rate for stolen cars runs at around 32%, leaving approximately 68 thousand vehicles still outstanding as stolen. Too often a vehicle is examined in relation to a crime or collision without the authenticity being established or if recovered its original identity has not been re-established.

This course, accredited by IMI (Institute of Motor Industries) is aimed at Vehicle Examiners, Stolen Vehicle Units, SOCO Officers and Ports Police.
