The Creston RCMP would like to remind the public to always ensure a vehicle has been transferred to the new owner when it is sold.
There have been multiple instances of people selling vehicles but while still registered in their own name. To ensure you have no ties to a vehicle once you sell it, attend an insurance broker so for immediate registration in the buyer’s name.
