Illegal vehicle identified through property marking

As part of the ongoing campaign to catch people who fail to pay their vehicle excise duty, the DVLA clamp unit removed a Vauxhall car to an authorised pound. Although the vehicle was not displaying a current road tax disk, the records showed the vehicle was taxed. However, when the registered owner was contacted it quickly became apparent that the vehicle in the pound was a clone. A call to the security register to check on the code etched into the glass confirmed the vehicle was on false plates and had been reported stolen.
