Rogue Trader - March update

60 vehicles were stopped by police officers as they took part in the latest Operation Rogue Trader day of activity, on Thursday 11 March.

Police worked alongside partner agencies, the Vehicle Operators & Services Agency (VOSA), Trading Standards, HM Revenue & Customs, DVLA, Smartwater and HM Court Services.

The day of action took place between 9am and 3pm, on the A6 at the Rushden and Diamonds Football Club car park.

The intention of the operation was to target and disrupt Rogue Trader Offender activity and movements, and to use all partnership agency powers and procedures to prosecute offenders.

Inspector Andy Hall from the Operations Tactical Unit, said:

"The day was very significant for us and had real impact.

"60 vehicles were stopped, and of those 18 were of interest to Trading Standards for being involved in trading illegally.

"We prevented 17 cars with potentially dangerous mechanical defects from proceeding on their journey.

"We also received intelligence opportunities linking Rogue Trader to distraction burglars".

The full results of the day are as follows:

  • One vehicle seized by HM Revenue & Customs for running on red diesel.
  • One vehicle was also identified as running on red diesel but allowed to leave the check site, the owner/driver having paid a fine £350, further enquiries will be carried out by HMRC on both vehicles & owners.
  • Trading Standards officers issued 18 notices to Traders relating to trading legislation.
  • VOSA officers issued 17 immediate prohibitions for mechanical defects, mainly relating to tyres, brakes and lighting defects. 3 delayed prohibitions were also issued for corrosion problems.
  • DVLA identified 41 vehicles, which were possibly being used without a current vehicle excise licence and will carry out further enquiries with a view to possible prosecution.

In addition to these offences, O.T.U. officers identified the following Road Traffic offences-

  • 2 Endorseable fixed penalty notices for defective tyres.
    3 Non endorseable fixed penalty notices for no test certificate (MOT).
    2 reported for no Vehicle Excise License (VEL).
