National Security and the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority DVLA worked together to arrest five people. These individuals are accused of making and selling fake vehicle registration plates.
Two other people involved in this activity are currently being sought by the authorities.
The joint operation aimed to stop the illegal production and distribution of falsified vehicle identification. This action comes after intelligence gathered on the syndicate.
Fake DV plates can be used to disguise vehicles used in criminal activities. Their distribution undermines the integrity of vehicle registration systems.
Authorities are continuing their investigation into the full scope of the operation. They are working to identify all parties involved and recover any further documentation.
The DVLA works to ensure all vehicles on the road are properly registered. This operation supports that goal by targeting those who try to cheat the system.
Further details regarding the arrests and the ongoing investigation will be released when available from National Security and the DVLA.
