HARTFORD, CONN (April 28, 2020) – Today at Corona’s Auto Parts in Hartford, the City of Hartford destroyed 31 ATVs and dirt bikes seized by the Hartford Police Department during operations targeting the illegal operation of motorized recreational vehicles on City streets and parks. The Hartford Police Department will continue to conduct regular operations to reduce the hazardous operation of motorized recreational vehicles, which poses a threat to public safety and which is prohibited by City ordinance. The City has seized more than 30 motorized recreational vehicles in approximately the last month. The vehicles destroyed today were seized previously and the City received permission to destroy them following legal proceedings. When the Police Department recovers stolen vehicles, they are returned to their rightful owners. Many if not all of the vehicles destroyed today were modified or had obliterated VIN numbers, which means it was not cost effective or appropriate to auction them off.
“Residents are tired of having loud ATVs and dirt bikes tear through our neighborhoods, but this is more than a quality of life issue — it’s a public safety issue,” said Mayor Luke Bronin. “These vehicles are dangerous, and we’re not going to tolerate them on our streets or in our parks. Through highly visible enforcement operations we’ve made progress deterring people from coming from outside of Hartford to ride, but we’ve seen an uptick in joy riding since the coronavirus lockdown. The Police Department will continue to take these vehicles off our streets safely, and we will confiscate and destroy every vehicle we can. I want to thank all of the officers involved in these operations for their careful, professional work to protect our community.”
“Illegal ATV and dirt bike use is one of the most common complaints we hear from residents, and today we want to send the message that these vehicles have no place on our streets and in our parks,” said Police Chief Jason Thody. “We will continue to conduct specific operations to get these vehicles off our streets in a safe way. We often find these vehicles are from out of the region, and in some cases their use is associated with other, more serious crimes. There are appropriate times and places to use these vehicles – but never in Hartford neighborhoods and parks.”
