Incident Report – Possible Cloned Vehicle Intercepted
Atterbury Value Mart
Date: 18 April 2026
Following the sighting of a suspicious vehicle suspected to be cloned in the Hazelwood area, members tracked and followed the vehicle until it came to a stop at Atterbury Value Mart. Upon interception, the vehicle underwent a thorough verification process to confirm its identity with the consent of its owner.
The vehicle particulars as displayed on the licence disc were confirmed, and a datadot verification was conducted, which returned a positive match. Following these checks, it was established that the vehicle was not, in fact, cloned but that the dealership had fitted the vehicle with incorrect number plates at the time of sale.
The owner was made aware of this discrepancy on scene and promptly contacted the dealership, who confirmed the error and undertook to refit the correct number plates in short order.
The incident concluded with confirmation that the vehicle was not cloned, and the issue of mismatched number plates was promptly resolved by the dealership on-site.
