confiscated items

Taken by authorities

Confiscated items are things that have been seized by an authority—typically police, customs officials, or school administrators.

The phrase appears on signs, in reports, and in institutional contexts: confiscated items will not be returned, a warehouse full of confiscated items from airport security.

The items themselves range from contraband to merely prohibited-in-context objects like phones or weapons.
