Ali and Bates used classified website Autotrader to track down their potential victims.
The men would pose as interested buyers and tell the householder they needed to check the car for faults.
They then inserted an electronic device into the vehicle’s on-board diagnostic slot to supposedly check the vehicle's history or mileage.
In fact, it was a tool - used by locksmiths to re-programme car keys.
The thieves would then clone the keys and return later while the owner was asleep or at work and steal the car.
CAR ADVERTS - If a car seller mentions escrow - he's scamming you Never ever for any reason pay anything until you have seen and inspected the vehicle
