An auction of confiscated vehicles and other property will be held at 7 p.m. Thursday at I-40 Auto Auction located on Treat Road in Muldrow.
The auction includes a 2001 Ford truck with custom rims, a 1997 Mercedes Benz and a 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix. These vehicles are among the vehicles that will be sold to the highest bidder at the District 27 District Attorney’s forfeited vehicle and property auction
District Attorney Jerry Moore said the vehicles and property being auctioned off were all forfeited as a result of numerous drug-related investigations within the four-county district of Adair, Cherokee, Sequoyah and Wagoner Counties.
Proceeds from the auction are split between the District 27 Drug Task Force and the other area law enforcement agencies participating in the investigations, Moore said. Proceeds generated by the sale can be used by these agencies, many of which are smaller agencies and have limited budgets, to purchase equipment to be used to further drug investigations within their jurisdictions.
For more information concerning the auction, contact the Sequoyah County District Attorney’s Office at (918) 775-9131 or the I-40 Auto Auction at (918) 427-8200.
