MEMBERS of the public who have fallen victim to car thieves over the last five years are asked to visit the Arouca Police Station to view a number of stolen vehicles which were recovered by officers.
Speaking at yesterday's daily press briefing at the Police Administration Building in Port of Spain, public information officer with the Police Service, Sgt Wayne Mystar said, since the recovery of the vehicles, the owners have not been located.
Mystar said those going to the station to view the vehicles are asked to walk with all relevant documents as proof of ownership and proper identification.
He said the vehicles included Honda Civics, Nissan Wingroads, B-14s and B-15s. A senior police source told the Express yesterday there were upwards of 20 vehicles currently on the station's compound.
Anyone wanting to view the vehicles are asked to contact Insps Forde or Rojas or Sgt Alexis at 640-6138.

why don't the police try to find the owners of these vehicles themselves? the police have all the info from people who reported their cars stolen. it is a lot harder for the victims of car thefts to find their cars. this makes no sense and i am sure every police station have a stolen car on their premises.

That only works if everybody would update the information on their certified copies AND transfer cars the proper way when they're being sold.

But it's a case of "damned if u do, damned if you don't". If the TTPS set up a system to call around, seek out addresses and track down the owners of the stolen cars, would the cry be "buh dem eh have no kinda serious crime to go solve or sumting?".
Best you just go Arouca station and see if your car is there.

A proper police service and licensing office would have license plates and corresponding chassis no. with their respective documented owners. But...

[rollingstock]

Cause people have a tendency of buying vehicles and not transferring, when the owner who's name is on the CC is contacted they reply they sold the vehicle, but have no information wrt the new owner. Others buy vehicles from the Estate of dead people too and never bother to have the LO information updated.

From my experience people are stupid!

Had an experience about 8 years ago where we recovered a stolen Corolla, the chassis & engine # were grinded off, the person who stole it, repainted it in a Candy, put on chrome rims and a lot of music plus other mods (he could have just bought one with the money spent)
Contacted the owner, he had one look and said it wasn't his despite all what we told him, we had to beg him to take his own car.

If insurance was covering it, I wasn't taking it back either. It's now a bandit magnet, hard to sell and pressure in road blocks.. But how you guys knew it was his?

Garage was under surveillance, and despite grinding off the # it is still visible under ultra-violet light.

I hear you Officer, any chance that my car maybe up there although it was stolen on the 13th of this month?

[rollingstock]

I have no idea, calling or passing would be a better bet for you.

[shake d livin wake d dead]

stock what would you say to someone whose vehicle got stolen few years ago but to date the exact number plate is on another vehicle cruising through T&T...besides call the police.

Ok

[rollingstock]

Do not call the Arouca station, they do not have the info. It is being dealt with by The CID Dept.
Anytime between 8am-2pm you are allowed to walk through and view all teh vehicles.

Sue sorry to say but your vehicle isn't one.

I went but it's not there, thanks though, at least now I can eliminate that. The officer actually was amazed that I was looking for a Peugeot.
