Half of all vehicles reported to AVCIS have been recovered, and
over 30 arrests have been made as a result of its activities.

“This is a clear warning to criminals that the Police are taking
vehicle-related fraud seriously nationwide,” AVCIS said.

The unit is funded by members of the Finance
& Leasing Association
(FLA)’s motor finance division.
“These figures already show an excellent return on our members’
investment in AVCIS. The sooner a car can be recovered after a
fraudulent transaction, the better for all concerned,” commented
Stephen
Sklaroff
, FLA director-general.
