Police Impound 29 Vehicles, Arrest 55 Drivers In Plumtree

Police in Plumtree, Matabeleland South Province, arrested 55 drivers and impounded at least 29 vehicles during a seven-day operation code name “i-number plate ingaphi/ number plate iripi” (where is the vehicle number plate?).

The operation, which covered both rural and urban areas, business centres and highways and ended on Tuesday, was aimed at curbing traffic lawlessness thereby reducing road traffic accidents.

Police said they noted that unregistered vehicles were being used to commit crimes such as armed robbery, murder, kidnapping and smuggling. Police said in a statement:

It has also been observed that the mushikashika vehicles and kombis that are being contracted to ZUPCO were carrying passengers across the district and these have removed number plates to avoid being identified.

The seven-day operation which was conducted in the district resulted in 55 arrests and 29 vehicles were impounded for infringing the temporary identification card facility.

The operation led to the confiscation of those vehicles without relevant papers.

Police said some motorists had become so rogue that they were defying police signals to stop at roadblocks and checkpoints.

Others were allegedly so daring that if a police officer stood in their way, they were prepared to knock them down. | The Sunday News
