Eighteen members of a gang which specialised in the theft of luxury cars has been caught by the Guardia Civil .They would steal the cars and then sell them on all over Spain and other countries .The gang used a fake computer programme so that they tricked customers into thinking that they were a bone fide company and that the purchase price of the vehicle had been paid into their account . This allowed the gang to collect the keys and documentation before they disappeared off the scene . Of the 18 detained , fifteen are Spanish nationals , one Romanian , one Moroccan and one Syrian .The arrests were made in Alicante province , Murcia and Madrid . The Guardia Civil says that they used three workshops in Murcia and Madrid where they changed the vehicles chassis numbers and number plates and produced false documentation .
