The Yobe State Police Command has impounded over 70 vehicles for various traffic offences, in line with the Motor Traffic Regulations Act.
The move is aimed at forestalling criminal activities by disgruntled elements who use tinted glass to perpetrate crimes in the state.
The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in the state, SP Dungus Abdulkarim, said the decisive action follows a noticeable increase in criminal activities involving vehicles with covered or tinted glass, which are often used to conceal the identities of suspects.
He said during the period under review, the command recorded a series of criminal incidents linked to vehicles with tinted glass. (NAN)
He said the most recent involved a vehicle burglary along the Damaturu–Potiskum Road near the Teaching Hospital, where the sum of ₦500,000.00 was carted away by criminals operating with tinted vehicles, among other nefarious activities.
He further said as enforcement commenced, several categories of traffic violations were detected.
“Vehicles without number plates, those with incomplete or invalid documentation, and vehicles with covered number plates without valid justification were impounded.
“So far, a total of 70 vehicles have been impounded for various traffic offences. This operation aims to sustain law enforcement efforts and curb the activities of miscreants who use vehicles to commit crimes within communities,” the Police PRO said. (NAN)
