Maldives Police Service has destroyed 446 unclaimed vehicles that were towed from the streets. These included 378 motorbikes, 40 cars, and 28 bicycles.

This action is part of a Transport Ministry initiative launched last year to remove abandoned and non-functional vehicles from Malé and Hulhumalé.

In December 2024, the police announced plans to tow illegally parked vehicles, especially those obstructing traffic on busy roads like Ameenee Magu and Majeedhee Magu. The initiative aims to reduce traffic congestion, enhance public safety, and lower the risk of accidents caused by neglected vehicles.
