Simple answer is yes, they cannot allow the driver to continue to use the vehicle, an insured driver / owner can reclaim the car.
Was the car in fact stolen?

If it was taken without consent the Police can charge driver with theft if you will not say this you could be done for aiding and abetting the offender driving without insurance
