The Sint Maarten Police Force has officially closed the period for persons to collect previously confiscated vehicles and scooters.
The vehicles and scooters have been parked at the Philipsburg station for some time and persons were allotted a lengthy period to be able to collect.
Several owners person made use of the opportunity and were able to reclaim their property. However, a large number of motor vehicles still remain unclaimed.
Today, Tuesday, August 25, 2020, was the last date for persons to be able to do so. Now that date has passed, there will be no more collection opportunities. Vehicles that were not retrieved are now considered abandoned and will be cleared from the station in order to continue to prepare for the upcoming active 2020 hurricane season.
