On Friday night, Oct. 21, the Yonkers Police Department searched the city for license plate, registration, equipment, and moving violations during the enforcement detail, police said.

As a result of this search, 42 vehicles were impounded, and over two-dozen summonses were issued, Yonkers Police announced along with a video showing many of the impounded vehicles soundtracked with "I Get Around" by The Beach Boys. 

Violations included: 

  • Fraudulent or expired temporary license plates;
  • Deliberate covering of VIN numbers;
  • No license plates. 

Police also arrested two unnamed individuals for cocaine and heroin possession after a vehicle inventory search, authorities said. 

"Driving on public roads is a privilege, not an entitlement. Vehicles that are not properly registered, inspected, and insured are a safety hazard to other motorists and pedestrians, and often degrade the quality of life of our residents; more so, many of the overnight larcenies and catalytic converter thefts often involve unlawfully operated motor vehicles," Yonkers Police said.
