New York Authorities Crush 92 Illegal Bikes And ATVs Seized From Streets | Carscoops carscoops
“Today, as we stand in the shadow of the Freedom Tower, we are freeing ourselves from these destructive pieces of machinery that are on our streets. They will be crushed today so that they can never terrorize our city again, each and every one of them,” Adams said at a press conference. “They will be turned into scrap metal and eventually recycled.”Police Department commissioner Keechant Sewell added that police have seized over 2,000 of these illegal vehicles across the city since January.
Adams said the city decided against selling or donating the seized bikes and ATVs to ensure they remain off the streets permanently. He added that many of them don’t have insurance and urged ATV dealers to request proof of insurance and registration documents before selling them. “It’s reckless and it’s illegal,” Sewell added. “It puts everyone at risk. Other drivers, passengers, pedestrians, and not to mention the bike riders themselves.”This year we've already taken nearly 2,000 bikes off the street and we're just getting started.
