GOVERNMENT is to regulate the used car market to help police fight vehicle theft. Speaking after a Cabinet meeting on Wednesday, government spokesman Joel Netshitenzhe said that regulations on the matter will soon be published in the Government Gazette. The notice will provide for used vehicles, parts and accessories to be included in the Second-Hand Goods Act. Netshitenzhe said used car dealers would, under the Act, be obliged to ensure that they were not trading in stolen goods. “The police will have the right to go into a chop shop to find whether that person is operating according to the regulations,” he said.
