The log books of thousands of cars have been cloned over the past two years after blank registration documents were taken, the Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo) said.

Officers are working with the DVLA to probe the theft of the identities of 11,000 cars worth more than £13 million.

Mark Hooper from Acpo will tell the Donal MacIntyre programme on BBC 5 Live tonight that officers are recovering about ten faked log books per week and that up to 130,000 blank documents have not yet been found.
