MOI traffic campaigns lead to thousands of violations, arrests, and seizures
The Ministry of Interior (MOI) said during the recent nationwide traffic campaigns, which targeted reckless driving, violators of residence and labor laws, scores of people have been arrested.
This is in addition to the General Traffic Department, taking into custody 28 juveniles caught driving without licenses, highlighting ongoing concerns about underage and unsafe driving.
During the same period, authorities issued more than 32,000 traffic citations for various infractions, ranging from speeding and signal violations to driving without proper documents. The campaigns also dealt with over 1,000 reported traffic accidents, ensuring swift response and traffic management.
Enforcement measures extended beyond traffic violations. Police impounded 10 vehicles for serious breaches and apprehended 106 expatriates with expired residency permits, 34 individuals without identification papers, and 38 persons wanted in connection with legal cases.
The officers also impounded 64 vehicles that were either reported stolen or listed as wanted by the judiciary.
The campaigns also uncovered drug-related crimes, with two individuals referred to the Drug Control Directorate after being found in possession of narcotics.
The General Traffic Department reaffirmed its dedication to enhancing road safety, public security, and law enforcement, urging all motorists to respect traffic rules and cooperate with officers in the interest of protecting lives and property.
