Ryan Regan , Thomas Hamilton and Darren Cradduck , all from Kent , given suspended sentences.

Fraudsters wound back a total of 2,000,000 miles off vehicle odometers.

They bought 21 high-mileage vehicles at auction and reduced their distance travelled by 90,500 miles each.

By decreasing the mileage on the vehicles, fraudsters can then sell them on for a higher price.
