If an officer removes a vehicle from a street as authorized in this chapter and the officer knows or is able to ascertain from the registration records in the vehicle the name and address of the owner thereof, the officer must immediately give or cause to be given notice in writing to the owner of the fact of removal and the reasons therefor and of the place to which the vehicle has been removed. In the event any such vehicle is stored in a public garage, a copy of the notice must be given to the proprietor of the garage.
