An elite GMP team which recovered £8m worth of stolen vehicles last year has made a dent in the exploits of an Oldham car theft gang.
Officers from the Tactical Vehicle Intercept Unit (TVIU) which targets car thieves found three high-end stolen vehicles parked up in side streets in Oldham.
It is a typical ruse of thieves to steal expensive vehicles and then leave them "hidden" in a quiet street for several days to see if they are recovered or found by having a tracker device.
