The Accra Regional Police command has impounded 476 unregistered vehicles found within the capital last Saturday.
This follows a previous exercise in December 2014 in which the police seized over 400 unregistered vehicles also with the Accra Metropolis.
[contextly_sidebar id=”2Qk4IilZAOakQNVsC8Pihjd8FF8JOybe”]Speaking to Citi News, the Accra Regional Police Commander, DCOP Christian Tetteh Yohuno said the operation was carried out because some persons were misusing the DP and DV number plates.
“People are misusing these vehicles which have very limited purposes of use so last Saturday we seized 476 DV and DP plated vehicles,” he said.
He said owners of the vehicles have been processed for court, adding that, “they have been ordered to pay GHC 600 depending on the merits of each case and failure to pay may lead them to jail.”
DCOP Yohuno served notice that it was an offence for DV and DP plated vehicles to be used as commercial vehicles.
He therefore cautioned owners of unregistered vehicles to register their vehicles or risk the seizure of their cars.
