Mechanic claims ownership over stolen 4x4
The 4x4 was seized by gardaí from a forecourt of a garage on the Dingle Road in Jan 2012 after a garda car’s automatic number plate detection system identified it as suspect.
The 4x4, which continues to lose value and is now worth just €5,000, is also being claimed by Allianz Insurance, which paid €21,000 in compensation to the original owner of the vehicle.
