#JMPD K9 officers responded to a request for assistance from the JMPD Tow Truck Unit at the corner of High and Lilly Streets in Rosettenville.

Officers conducted additional checks & established that the licence disc was the original one issued to the vehicle. A search of the vehicle was conducted & it led to the discovery of the vehicle's original registration plates concealed beneath the front left passenger seat. The driver was unable to provide a satisfactory explanation for the discrepancy. He arrested for fraud. The vehicle was impounded & taken to the JMPD vehicle Pound for further investigation.
