Report an abandoned vehicle

If you believe that this vehicle is a risk to other road users due to its positioning on the road (such as on a junction, double yellow lines, impeding on a busy road) then you should inform Norfolk Constabulary on 101 or 999

If the vehicle has been parked for under 4 weeks, then we may not pursue an investigation unless there are other factors to indicate it as abandoned

We must consider that more people are working from home at the moment, and some may not have needed to use their vehicles for a while. We may not be able to investigate if the vehicle has not been in place for long.

If the vehicle is in good or reasonable condition and does not reflect concern on any of the above points, then we may not pursue an investigation unless there are other factors to indicate it as abandoned.

If the vehicle is parked on private land, then we will require confirmation from the landowner that the vehicle is parked illegitimately on their land without permission.

If the vehicle is parked in a communal car park area and is taxed or declared SORN, then we may not pursue an investigation unless there are other factors to indicate it as abandoned.

We are duty bound to investigate abandoned vehicles, whether on public or private land.

If the vehicle does not hold relevant Tax and does not present a hazard to road users, then please inform the DVLA online.

We may not pursue an investigation unless there are other factors to indicate the vehicle as abandoned.
