Vehicles impounded for various offences will only be released to their registered owners in accordance with official vehicle registry records, a senior Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) officer has said.
Speaking during a traffic safety campaign at Mbare Musika over the weekend, Officer Commanding Harare Province, Commissioner Maxwell Chikunguru, urged motorists to ensure vehicle ownership details are updated. He said:
“Police have noted with concern the issue to do with change of vehicle ownership during our operations.
“A number of vehicles are being driven or owned by fourth or the fifth person due to failure of changing ownership.
“This is making it difficult to account for some traffic violations being committed by some motorists.
“We are urging motorists to consider changing ownership of their vehicles.
“If your vehicle is impounded, we will not release it until we find the correct owner of the vehicle.”
Several kombi drivers have been unable to collect their impounded vehicles taken to the Chikurubi Support Unit yard, while some motorists have failed to transfer ownership in an apparent bid to resell the cars.
