Reply To: Trade body warns garages of reoccurring tyre scam following reported cases in Manchester

[LAWRENCE WELLS]

This scam happened to me 3 years ago, i was on to it quickly and reported it to the police in Shrewsbury whilst it was still going on. They did nothing, even refusing to follow the taxi that was at my garage on its way to the criminals with tyres on board (we didnt send them when the plod drove off without doing anything). Several other local garages were had and it was up to me to phone around and warn people. It is no surprise that this is still going on, the police are not bothered with catching real criminals even when they are given them on a plate. Shame on them
