In car cloning, thieves take information from authentic car tags, labels and titles and apply them to stolen cars of a similar make and model. That allows them to then sell the stolen cars to unknowing customers.
Agents say a new system, called the National Motor Vehicle Information System, can help protect you against car cloning.
Police urge you to cross check vehicle identification number with authorities before purchasing a used car. You can get more information by visiting the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System.
