"During the search police officers found a substantial amount of boxes, each containing known branded car parts which were kept inside a safe, situated underneath a staircase.


"A further search led police to a store room inside the property, where more boxes containing various brands of car spares and accessories were stored.


"On questioning the couple they failed to provide a reasonable explanation or documentation to be in possession of the suspected stolen goods."
