Immobilisation of Vehicles
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many instances of cars being illegally unclamped have been reported to the Police by the DVLA since 1st March 2025.
Answered by Simon Lightwood
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency does not hold a record of instances reported to the police. However, since 1 March 2025, just under 28,000 immobilisation devices were unlawfully removed from a vehicle before the wheelclamping company returned to impound it and the vehicle was no longer present.
