Scrapyard owner Mohammed Adam felt aggrieved after 16 of his derelict vehicles were removed from his property yesterday under orders from the Ministry of Health and Wellness.

Adam, who owns a scrapyard business and car rental company, stood by helplessly as police and members of St Mark’s Trucking and Rental descended upon the property in Lakes Folly, The City, crushing and collecting whatever shells remained of the derelict vehicles.

The cars were previously spray painted with the “MOH” tag, traditionally used by the Ministry of Health to identify structures marked for demolition or removal. While Adam acknowledged that he was slow in maintaining the upkeep of the area, he insisted that he always intended to clean up the site.
