In a bizarre twist that sounds like a scene from a detective drama, the Metropolitan Police are clearing out their evidence rooms — by the boxload.
Over the last few months, large volumes of seized goods, originally confiscated during criminal investigations, have quietly made their way out of police storage and into public hands through stockist EcoStock Solutions. These items range from returned retail stock and electronics to mystery items once used as evidence.
And now, you can get your hands on them.
The Afterlife of Evidence
Once a case is closed and legal retention periods expire, police forces are legally permitted to dispose of unclaimed or forfeited property. Normally, this happens via auction. But recently, sources within the surplus industry have revealed that many of these items — from high-street fashion to power tools — are being sold off in bulk, often without any indication of their original origin.
In some cases, the goods were seized as part of raids, fraud cases, or counterfeit crackdowns. In others, they’re simply abandoned items left unclaimed for years. Once they’re boxed up, weighed, and sent out in pallet loads to disposal partners.
From Police Storage to Your Doorstep
EcoStock Solutions, a wholesale surplus platform that specialises in Amazon returns and retail liquidation, has now added police-seized stock to its line-up. You won’t get a detailed inventory (and that’s half the fun), but you will get bulk boxes packed with high-value goods at a fraction of retail price.
Buyers report receiving everything from boxed electronics to designer trainers and unused gadgets. The catch? You don’t get to pick and choose. It’s mystery buying — but backed by serious sourcing credentials.
“We’ve partnered with verified UK disposal agents, and some of our stock has come directly from police disposal pipelines,” an EcoStock rep told CrimeWatch. “It’s a way to give new life to unused items while keeping them out of landfill.”
What’s in the Box?
Expect mixed goods, typically retail-grade, sometimes with signs of handling, sometimes brand new. No drugs, weapons, or dangerous items ever make it into circulation — those are destroyed at the source. But for resellers, collectors, and bargain hunters, these boxes offer a goldmine.
You might find:
-
Seized counterfeit clothing (sold as unbranded)
-
Unclaimed electronics
-
Top tech such as iPhones, iPads and Laptops
-
Retail products with minor damage or no fault at all
How to Buy
Boxes start from as little as £99.99 and are available exclusively at EcoStockSolutions.co.uk. They’re sold as-is, with plenty of potential for profit, fun, or surprises.
