Gardaí seize 18 BMWs and man arrested in scam probe

One man has been arrested and 18 BMW cars have been seized by gardaí investigating a scam in Dublin involving luxury cars.

It is suspected that the sizes of the cars’ engines were understated in declarations to Motor Tax Offices in an attempt to pay lower tax rates on the vehicles.

A variance on the cars’ declared engine sizes would also have implications for the cost of insurance premiums on the vehicles.
