This was disclosed by the police in response to queries from The Straits Times on Nov 11, the same day the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) introduced a Bill in Parliament to amend the Road Traffic Act to incentivize owners to collect their seized vehicles or trailers in a timely manner.

The police may seize a vehicle if they believe it is linked to an offence under the Penal Code or Road Traffic Act.

"The vehicles are stored in the compound until the conclusion of investigations and court proceedings; and after that, until the owner eventually collects the vehicle," the police added.
