A young dad ploughed his life savings into buying his "dream car" only to discover it had been stolen and for it to be seized by police two months later. Dad-of-two Daniel Davies from Ebbw Vale paid £24,500 in cash for a Range Rover Sport vehicle as well as part exchanging his previous car, taking the total to almost £30,000.
Daniel, who owns his own groundsman business, says he bought the car from a registered trader. He claims there had been "problem after problem" with the vehicle since he purchased it at the end of April 2022 but it was only during one garage trip did a mechanic realise the car was likely stolen.
Daniel then reported it to Gwent Police who have now seized the vehicle while enquiries continue. He claims he has also received correspondence from the trader which suggests he knew it was stolen before being sold to Daniel, something which the trader denies.
