East Grand Forks Police Auctioning Vehicles from Seized Assets

The East Grand Forks Police Department is conducting an online auction featuring three former squad cars along with six other vehicles that have been forfeited due to impaired driving or drug-related offenses. This auction is an opportunity for residents and interested bidders to acquire these vehicles, which include notable models like a 2022 Ford Explorer and two 2021 Ford Explorers.

The auction commenced at 10:00 on December 2, 2023, and is set to run until December 16, 2023. Bidding will close at staggered times ranging from 14:00 to 19:50. The vehicles up for auction include a diverse range of makes and models, such as a 2015 Chevrolet Malibu, a 2014 Chevrolet Cruze, a 2010 Dodge Challenger, a 2006 Volkswagen Passat, a 2005 Nissan Murano, and a 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Details for Bidders

Potential bidders can view the complete list of vehicles and additional items, including bicycle and scooter bundles, by visiting www.GovDeals.com/EastGrandForksMN. Bidders must register on the site to participate in the auction. The East Grand Forks Police Department has indicated that while vehicles are available for viewing at 520 DeMers Ave. in East Grand Forks, staff will not be able to open or start the vehicles for potential bidders.

The online listings provide essential information, including vehicle mileage, titles, reasons for seizure, and overall condition. This initiative not only allows the police department to recoup some costs associated with these vehicles but also provides community members with the chance to acquire reliable transportation at competitive prices.

This auction represents a significant effort by the East Grand Forks Police to engage with the community while addressing the consequences of impaired and illegal driving. As the auction progresses, interested parties are encouraged to stay informed and participate actively in the bidding process.
