Abandoned vehicles

The police deal with abandoned vehicles that may endanger other road users. We handle all other abandoned vehicles.

A vehicle (such as a car, truck or trailer) is considered abandoned if: 

  • It is parked on a public roadway, and
  • It has been there for an unusual length of time, and
  • It is not there for a lawful purpose, and
  • The owner cannot be located, and/or
  • It is unroadworthy.
