§ 19.2-381. Judgment of condemnation and sale of property; when judgment given on bond of owner or lienor; dest...

If the forfeiture be established, the judgment shall be that the property be condemned as forfeited to the Commonwealth and further that the same be sold, unless a sale thereof has been already made under § 19.2-378 or unless the court shall determine that the property forfeited is of such minimal value that the sale thereof would not be in the best interest of the Commonwealth. If such sale has been made, the further judgment shall be against the proceeds. If the property condemned has been delivered to the claimant under § 19.2-377, such further judgment shall be against the obligors in the bond for the penalty thereof to be discharged by the payment of the appraised value of the property, upon which judgment, process of execution shall be awarded and the clerk shall endorse thereon, "No security is to be taken."

Money that is forfeited shall be disposed of pursuant to the provisions of § 19.2-383.

Contraband, the sale or possession of which is unlawful, and property not sold because of the minimal value thereof, shall be ordered destroyed by the court.
