As the process of identifying recovered stolen vehicles begins, several owners are denouncing the fact that their cars have been altered to conceal their true proprietorship. In some cases, the chassis numbers were changed to prevent the vehicles being identified, while others were painted different colors, bore new license plates or were disguised with accessories.
Hoy newspaper reports today that Attorney General Francisco Dominguez Brito said that the police and military members who tampered with the recovered vehicles should be penalized.
Yesterday, in the parking lot of the Museum of Modern Art at the Plaza de la Cultura and that of the Segna collapsed insurance company that is two blocks from National Police headquarters, officials presented 120 vehicles that had been recovered. Hundreds of theft victims gathered at these sites in the hopes of identifying their vehicles and repossessing them.
