Embezzled & Fraudulently Obtained Vehicle Recovery
Vehicle recovery cases do not always begin with a conventional theft. Leasing, rental, finance and other vehicles may initially be retained unlawfully following a breach of contract, fraud or breach of trust before the circumstances develop into a criminal investigation.
DIGITPOL investigates and traces stolen, embezzled and fraudulently obtained vehicles on behalf of financial institutions, leasing and rental companies, insurers, vehicle owners and other authorised parties.
Our Stolen Vehicle Unit coordinates with relevant partners and authorities to locate vehicles and support the appropriate legal recovery process.
Outcome
The Mercedes-Benz E300e was successfully traced and located by DIGITPOL in cooperation with VbV after the case escalated from a breach-of-trust matter into a vehicle theft investigation.
Outcome: Vehicle located, seized and successfully returned to its rightful owner.
