Pair To Front Court Over Vehicle Inspection Racket At Singleton

 BY IAN CROUCH

Two people are due to front court next month accused of fraudulently issuing vehicle inspection reports at a Singleton business over the past 12 months.

Early last year, Muswellbrook Highway Patrol and and Transport for NSW commenced an investigation which allegedly found vehicle inspections were taking place without the mandatory checks taking place and in the absence of an authorised examiner.

Following extensive inquiries police arrested a 56-year-old man and a 34-year-old woman.

They've each been charged with a combined 216 offences relating to the issuing of false or misleading inspection reports and given court attendance notices to face Singleton Local Court on Thursday February 25.
