East Oxford: Police seize stolen Ford on M40 near Wheatley
The red pick-up was stopped near Wheatley, East Oxford, on the M40 southbound towards London and according to officers, subsequent checks revealed that - despite being "cloned" - it was a stolen vehicle. Vehicle cloning involves a criminal taking or copying another registration plate that resembles the car or in this case truck they have stolen. The driver is assisting with enquiries and several people on social media were quick to praise the Road Policing team for recovering the vehicle, new versions of which start from around GBP28,000.
Over the past few days the unit also stopped a driver near Milton Common for using a vehicle with cloned plates and driving without a licence.
