Important Police warning

THE police have become aware of a substantial number of stolen motorhomes which have had their identities professionally changed by criminals and which may now be offered for sale to unsuspecting members of the public in the UK and Ireland.

As there is no easy way to spot the identity change, the advice is very simple – make sure you know who you are buying from and where the seller lives. In the event that you are unlucky enough to buy a stolen vehicle your only redress is against the person you gave your money to.

Ideally the seller’s name and address will be on the registration document, you will not have paid cash and you will have carried out an Experian, Cartell.ie or HPi car data check before purchase. These steps are vital – especially if the ‘van you are looking at appears to be an absolute bargain. Remember – buyer beware.
