The Town of Haymarket has listed a 2003 Chevy pickup for sale, with a minimum bid of $500.
The truck has a 4.31 engine and 136,000 miles. The advertisement for the sale of the vehicle states that it is in good condition, but will need repairs for a safety inspection.
The vehicle came into the town’s possession as part of a seizure of property in a marijuana distribution arrest on Washington Street in June 2013, according to Town Manager Brian Henshaw.
The criminal case for the former owner and arrestee concluded after a guilty plea was given in November 2013. After the case, a court order permitted forfeiture of the vehicle to the town in January 2014, said Henshaw.
Interested parties need to contact the Haymarket Police Department and speak with Donna Knupp to set up an appointment and place a bid on the vehicle.
All bids will be viewed on February 6 at Town Hall, and the winning bid will be announced. Bidders have been encouraged by the town to attend the bid opening.
