Summary
Car cloning scams are exploding across Avon and Somerset, with police seizing over one fake vehicle weekly—doubling last year’s numbers. Thieves are going high-tech: altering VINs, reprogramming electronics, swapping locks, and forging documents to make stolen cars look legit. Buyers often lose their money and the car, while original owners face wrongful tickets or blame for crimes they didn’t commit. Red flags? Prices that seem too good to be true, only one key, no log book, or sellers refusing ID or cash. Bottom line: do your homework, trust your gut, and walk away if something feels off.
