Former Upper Hutt residents facing charges in Australia

Reporter Community News

Two friends originally from Upper Hutt are facing more than 140 charges relating to a sophisticated car scam involving the theft of hundreds of thousands of dollars from Queensland motorists.

The Queensland Times reports Kimberley Deans, 19, and Wolf Cameron, 23, were two of four people charged by Queensland Police in July over the fraudulent sale of vehicles across Brisbane, Logan and the Gold Coast.

Queensland Police allege they were part of a group which altered the vehicle identification numbers on stolen and written-off cars before selling them to unsuspecting buyers.
