Impounded vehicles to be destroyed if not claimed
The Bermuda Police Service has warned owners to collect their impounded vehicles in the next three weeks or they could be destroyed.
A police spokesman said the BPS has 57 motorcycles at its Prospect, Devonshire, impound, 29 of which are listed as recovered stolen motorcycles.
“Our priority, as always, is to return these vehicles to their rightful owners,” the spokesman said.
“Prior to public notification, several attempts are made by the BPS Impound Office to contact the registered owners of impounded vehicles.
“Unfortunately, such efforts are often unsuccessful, due to available contact information being out of date.”
Members of the public were urged to review the list of registration numbers published in the Official Gazette to identify vehicles that may belong to them.
“Registered owners may reclaim their vehicles by contacting the BPS Impound Office, Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm, at telephone number 247-1751,” the spokesman said.
“Any vehicle not claimed by November 6 will be disposed of, in accordance with the Police Property Act, 1921.
“It should also be noted that under the law, the BPS does not have the authority to sell impounded vehicles to the general public.”
