Inspector Robert Cardwell, Officer Responsible for Roads Policing - The Police Service has a number of motorcycles and other vehicles in their possession. Members of the public are encouraged to review the list of registration numbers to identify any vehicle that may belong to them.

These vehicles are a combination of recovered reported stolen vehicles and the registered owner is not contactable or has left the island; vehicles taken from collision scenes for safe keeping and have not been collected or the owner has not given the police written permission to dispose of it and vehicles that are not registered such as motor-cross motorcycles and pedal cycles.

In the case of motor-cross motorcycles in particular these are frequently seized as a result of the rider dropping them and making good their escape or where the rider has been arrested on suspicion of ‘taking it without the owner’s consent’, the lawful owner cannot be traced and the rider has no interest in claiming it.

Members of the public who have had a pedal cycle or motor-cross motorcycle stolen from them are encouraged to make an appointment with the Impound Officer to view or claim them at lswan@bps.bm or on telephone number 247-1454.

If anyone has lost a kayak or knows someone who has lost a kayak they are also encouraged to contact the Impound Officer. The Police Service’s priority is to return this property to their rightful owners.

Here is a full list of the vehicles currently in police impond. (PDF)
