evidence locker
Crime storage room
An evidence locker is a secure storage space where law enforcement agencies keep physical evidence from criminal investigations—weapons, drugs, documents, clothing, and other items that may be needed for prosecution or appeals.
The term applies to everything from small locked cabinets to entire rooms or warehouses: The murder weapon sat in the evidence locker for fifteen years before DNA testing exonerated the suspect.
