Two held as police seize seven vehicles in garage

Two men, ages 56 and 26, of Valencia were detained and are assisting police in their investigations.

Police also seized equipment used for cutting vehicles into parts.

According to reports, police under the supervision of Sen Supt Daniel and ASP Mervyn Edwards, and led by Sgt Matthew Haywood went to the garage at about 4 pm on Wednesday. The garage was cordoned off and police observed seven of the vehicles in the garage appeared to have been tampered with. The vehicles, which included a Mazda 3, a Toyota Corolla, a Nissan Navarra,two Nissan Versas and a Toyota pick-up were seized and handed over to members of the Stolen Vehicles squad.

Police began examining the vehicles yesterday and documents were being sought from the Licensing Authority to verify if the vehicles were tampered with.

They believe with the arrest of the suspects and the seizure of the vehicles, they may be able to make a breakthrough into a vehicle stealing ring. They also expect to seize additional vehicles with the arrest of the two suspects. The same team also searched some bushes in Malabar on Wednesday and seized a pistol with several rounds of ammunition.
