Owners of vehicles stored at the Traffic Office in Boroko, Port Moresby, are urged to collect their vehicles to provide space for investigative purposes.
The Commander of the National Capital District (NCD) and Central Provinces Benjamin Turi made this announcement in a statement on the 20th of March 2025.
Commander Turi stated that the traffic office car park should only hold accident vehicles under investigation. He also mentioned that efforts are underway to find a storage location for unclaimed vehicles.
“Vehicle hire companies or individuals that have their vehicles at the traffic office must visit the case officers and discuss how they will remove their vehicles home if the investigation has been completed.
It doesn’t look good when the ragged vehicles are lying there. If the vehicles are there and the investigators are not doing their job, please write to us so my office can check on the investigators and find out why they are not attending to you.
With that, I want you all to communicate with each other, especially the victims, the drivers, and the police investigators. Frequent communication will help speed up the investigation and also ensure justice is served to all parties involved,” Commander Turi said.
Turi also suggested that unclaimed vehicles should be stored at Bomana Driving School, where old police vehicles are already being kept.
Although accidents are happening every day in the city of Port Moresby, the storage location at the traffic office need to be reserved for police and court investigative purposes.
