As a general answer, yes, they can. The police are required to investigate suspicious circumstances. However without knowing more specific information about this event it is impossible to give a more complete answer. Where was the owner of the vehicle? Was the vehicle occupied? Abandoned? ? Whose ID's did they find? What were the circumstances of the search? What did the police learn when they ran the ID's? Etc.
