Kathmandu Valley Traffic Police Office has handed over 50 recovered motorcycles and scooters to their respective owners after a special search drive in different parts of the Valley.
According to the office, the two-wheelers had been stolen or reported missing from various locations of Kathmandu Valley over different periods. Police formed teams in uniform and plain clothes to track the vehicles based on complaints and tip-offs.
Special handover programme
The vehicles were returned in a programme held at the Kathmandu Valley Traffic Police Office premises in Ramshahpath. Senior traffic police officers checked documents and completed the required legal process before handing over the keys to the identified owners.
Several owners said they were relieved to get back their bikes and scooters and thanked the traffic police team for the recovery.
Police advice for two-wheeler users
Traffic police have requested riders to:
- Park only in secure, designated areas
- Use handle locks and extra wheel locks
- Install GPS trackers or similar security devices where possible
People have also been asked to inform the nearest police office or call traffic police toll-free number 103 immediately if their vehicle goes missing.
For daily commuters in the Valley, this is a reminder that better security and quick reporting can decide whether a stolen bike ever comes home.
