The spokesperson of the command, SP Josephine Adeh, said in a statement on Tuesday that the command is deploying additional personnel and equipment for patrols, stop-and-search operations, and surveillance throughout the territory to cub the ugly trend.
According to Josephine, the “initiative aims to combat rising incidents of ‘one chance’ crimes and car theft”.
She stated that the command will be impounding vehicles “without registration numbers, with only one plate, or using defaced plates”.
The Police Public Relations Officer also said that regulations regarding covered number plates and tinted glasses will also be enforced henceforth.
“While these operations may cause some inconvenience, they reflect our commitment to the safety of all FCT residents and to deterring criminal activities targeting motorists and passengers.
“Since launching these measures, we have successfully recovered stolen vehicles and apprehended ‘one chance’ robbers.
“We appreciate the public’s patience and cooperation during these operations, and we advise vehicle owners to ensure compliance with all regulations.
“The FCT Police Command is dedicated to maintaining a secure environment. We encourage residents to report suspicious activities and cooperate with our officers. Your safety is our priority”, the statement added.
