9 Suspects Caught in Şanlıurfa for Changing Vehicle Identification Numbers
Authorities have apprehended 9 suspects in Şanlıurfa who were found to have altered the chassis and engine numbers of vehicles severely damaged in last year’s February 6 earthquakes.
These individuals were attempting to pass off the damaged vehicles as other cars in order to sell them for profit.
The police were able to track down the suspects through a thorough investigation, leading to their arrest.
This illegal activity not only deceives buyers but also poses a serious safety risk as the vehicles may not be roadworthy after such alterations.
Law enforcement agencies are urging the public to be cautious when purchasing used vehicles and to always verify the authenticity of the vehicle identification numbers.
It is important to report any suspicious activity to the authorities to prevent such fraudulent practices in the future.
