SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) - The state has temporarily terminated its relationship with an Albuquerque-based private Motor Vehicle Department contractor after one of its employees was suspected of issuing titles and registrations for stolen vehicles.
The Bernalillo County Sheriff's Department searched the offices of New Mexico Registration Services Inc. Thursday and seized computers and other software equipment used for issuing vehicle titles and registrations.
Taxation & Revenue Secretary Rick Homans said they are "deeply troubled" by allegations against the firm.
Homan said to protect integrity and confidentiality of MVD customers, the state severed all ties to the company and terminated its access to a state database.
