playon policia autos

Spanish to English Other Other
This is actually a setting for a scene from a film by an Argentine filmmaker. It refers to where vehicles seized by the police in criminal incidents are kept. In this scene, a mother goes to retrieve a vehicle her son has used to kill someone. Is there a word for something like that in English?
Thanks!
