Sydney car yards raided over alleged scam
Four Sydney car yards accused of winding back odometers on used cars have been raided by police and Fair Trading NSW.
Dream Car City has had trading immediately suspended by officers, who were waiting for the company's director when he arrived at the Parramatta Road business on Tuesday morning.
Simultaneously, officers were raiding two other properties, Edward Lees Imports, a Japanese import business that describes itself as Australia's number one import dealer, and Prestige Auto, both also on Parramatta Road.
A fourth raid has been carried out at Blacktown.
A potential buyer was at Edward Lees Imports when officers arrived and began searching workshops and inspecting tools in the rear of work vehicles as well as interviewing staff members.
It's believed a couple who reportedly bought a car there on Monday arrived with the vehicle on a tow truck later on Tuesday morning.
Fair Trading believes the vehicles, imported from Japan, have the odometer tampered with once they arrive in Australia to make them more appealing to local buyers.
Officers are expected to examine each car at the yards and compare odometer readings with de-registration documents from Japan.
The documents, which include details of the vehicle's previous use, are not provided when the vehicles are imported to Australia.
No charges have been laid over the raids and won't be until investigations are completed, according to Fair Trading NSW.
While Dream Car City had trading suspended immediately on Tuesday, the remaining businesses have been given the opportunity to plead their case as to why they should be able to continue operating.
