According to Andrius Šukėnas, one of the founders of the group for free legal aid and consultations on Facebook and Instragram, the man he represents decided to change the car’s registration number for five years. He asked the state-owned company Regitra, which manages the country’s fleet registry, but warned that, although the new license plates would be issued, his vehicle was being registered in Italy, so police officers would have to wait to verify the documents. .
Upon arrival, police officers not only reviewed the documents but also confiscated the car. After trying to get it back, the man heard it could take up to a year to wait, since correspondence between states explaining why the car hunt was announced could take so long.
Has already been registered in Lithuania
As explained by A. Šukėnas, the man he represented bought the car in 2015. The Jeep Grand Cherokee has already been registered in Lithuania.

The questions arose only when the man wanted to change the car’s license plates for new ones, because “Regitra” representatives explained that every time they contact the service, the databases are checked to see if the vehicle is stolen. , searched, etc.
I used the numbers
Although police officers initially said they did not have accurate information on why the car was being searched, and in such cases the search party’s instructions, which generally rang were followed: the vehicle had to be confiscated, then it became clear what inconvenience happened to the Lithuanian.
As lawyer A. Šukėnas told Delfi, it turned out that in Italy in 2017. A pre-trial investigation into administrative crimes was launched.
“And it turned out that they were made because the car was not decommissioned when it was sold in Italy, and its license plates were placed in another vehicle. Someone committed minor crimes while driving with her, received fines and then the numbers became the basis for searching for a vehicle other than a Jeep bought by a Lithuanian, – said A. Šukėnas.
Regitrą Tour
When these details were clarified, the car was returned to its legal owner in Lithuania. Admittedly, A. Šukėnas noted that when the car was returned, the ABS light on the dashboard came on, meaning that the man not only suffered stress and loss, but also recovered his vehicle in the same condition as it had before. of your confiscation.

During the year, Regitra has approached the police 46 times regarding the wanted vehicle. In 2019, officials were contacted 135 times.
As Delfi explained to Aurelija Juodytė, the head of the Regitra communication department, upon receiving a notification about the confiscated vehicle, is discharged so that she cannot participate in the traffic.
