Court orders return of vehicles impounded after being parked outside Waterford garda station for three years

Thomas O’Sullivan and Laurie Murphy, both of Whitegate, Midleton brought an application for the vehicles’ return to Dungarvan District Court under the Police Property Act

The 06 Ford Transit van and 97 VW Polo had advertised accusatory statements against a senior Dungarvan Garda over an administrative grievance.

A district court has directed that two vehicles impounded by gardaí after being parked outside a west Waterford Garda station for almost three years, must be restored to their owners.

The order also leaves An Garda with a large bill in accumulated storage fees.
