West Grey Police – Criminal Investigation Branch (CIB)
On July 7, 2022, members of the West Grey Police Service Criminal Investigations Branch initiated an extensive investigation into motor vehicles being operated with altered Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN’s).
VIN cloning typically happens when a stolen vehicle is involved. In this case, the VIN number that was originally installed by the manufacturer is taken off the stolen vehicle and replaced with a different one that was “cloned” off another car. The second VIN is a valid and genuine number from a vehicle that is of similar make and model to the stolen vehicle.
The purpose of cloning the VIN is to enable the stolen vehicle to be registered in another Province or Country. Of course, those who are planning to do so will also have additional fake documents to prove their “ownership” of that car. So for example, if the stolen car was originally registered in Manitoba, having a cloned VIN attached to it will now allow the car to be registered using a different “identity” in another province like the Ministry of Transportation in Ontario.
As a result of the investigation 2 stolen vehicles with cloned VIN’s were recovered and 2 persons were taken into custody.
A 34-year-old male from Paisley and a 30-year-old female from West Grey were both arrested and have been charged with:
Both were processed by police and later released. They will appear in the Ontario Court of Justice, Walkerton at a later date.
