Sogakofe (VR), Nov. 18, GNA – The South Tongu
District Divisional Police Command has arrested 40 unregistered and uninsured
motorbikes in the area.

The exercise was led by the District Motor
Transport and Traffic Directorate (MTTD) in collaboration with the Driver and
Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA).

Chief Superintendent of Police, Dennis Koku
Fiakpui,the Divisional Police Commander told Ghana News Agency (GNA),the
exercise was part of activities to decongest the roads and reduce the rate of
crime involving unregistered motorbikes in the District.

He said this had become necessary because of
the numerous activities leading to the yuletide.

“We are approaching the yuletide and the
roads would be busy. We need to take off those motorists who are not ready to
be on the roads”, the Commander said.

He said the agenda of the District Command
was to make sure majority of the motorbikes in the District were registered and
insured by March 2020.

Police Inspector Evanz Attitsogbui
Grunitzky, the District Inspector of the MTTD said owners of impounded motorbikes
were asked to register and insure their bikes, and present the documents at the
police station for their bikes.

He told the GNA “some have already
started with the registration”.
