nzpoliceDealers are being asked to assist police in an investigation – asking them to go back a year to look for test drive information.

As part of an ongoing investigation, police have requested from dealers, through the Imported Motor Vehicle Industry Association, information regarding a male known as Stacey Spinks.

They are asking for information relating to the location, date and time the test drive took place.
