LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- In an effort to get rid of unclaimed vehicles in Louisville's tow lot, Louisville Metro Police is hosting its first in-person auction this week.Â
The auction will take place April 6 at the impound lot at 1487 Frankfort Avenue, beginning at 10 a.m. Around 70 vehicles will be auctioned, all the vehicles are unclaimed and have been on the lot for at least 45 days.
"We're looking to move cars off the lot quicker so we can address some of the abandoned vehicle problems in a more efficient and effective way so that would be our number one goal," LMPD Maj. Emily McKinley said.
An inventory list has not been posted on the auction website yet, but cars, SUVs and trucks are expected to be part of the auction.Â
Those who are interested can park along Frankfort Avenue on the same side as the impound lot. The winning bidder is required to purchase the vehicle an hour-and-a-half after winning.
The new owner cannot drive the car out of the impound lot, even if it starts, since it isn't registered or insured.
