Authorities seize six vehicles abandoned on park properties
The Department of Parks, in line with the Bermuda National Parks Regulations 1988, issues this public notice requesting the owners of abandoned vehicles found on park properties to come forward and claim their impounded vehicles by April 4.
The vehicles, identified below by their licence plates, have been held for 30 days without being claimed and will be disposed of if not retrieved promptly:
• Black Peugeot licence #51345
• Blue Suzuki licence #24755
• Blue Yaris licence #07624
• Silver Peugeot licence #18661
• White Renault van licence #HA695
• Sea Ray boat registration #16023
Despite multiple attempts to reach the owners through the Transport Control Department, there has been no response.
Therefore, the Department of Parks urgently requests the owners to contact the department immediately. The department can be reached on 236-5902 between Monday and Friday from 9am to 4.30pm.
If the vehicles are not claimed, the Minister of Public Works and Environment will dispose of them in accordance with the Bermuda National Parks Regulations 1988.
The Department of Parks highlights the need for swift action to avoid this outcome and clarifies that it is not responsible for any damage or deterioration that may occur during the transport and storage of impounded vehicles.
Furthermore, the release of impounded vehicles requires the payment of fees related to towing, removal and storage as specified in the Bermuda National Parks Regulations 1988 and the Bermuda National Parks (Fees) Regulations 2018 Schedule.
These fees must be paid before the vehicle is released to the owner or their authorised representative. For further inquiries or additional information, concerned parties are encouraged to contact the Department of Parks directly.
The Department of Parks appreciates the public's co-operation and underscores the importance of adhering to park regulations to maintain Bermuda's parklands for the benefit of the entire community.
