Five individuals have been arrested for their alleged involvement in producing and distributing fake vehicle registration plates. The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority, working with the National Security, carried out the operation.
Arrests were made in several locations across the country, including Lapaz, Narmah, Tarkwa, and Kumasi. This coordinated effort targeted a network suspected of creating and spreading these fraudulent plates.
A statement from the DVLA on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, confirmed the arrests. The authority highlighted the importance of genuine registration plates for vehicle identification and road safety.
The suspects are accused of manufacturing fake DV plates, which are intended to mimic official registration documents. The distribution of these plates suggests a wider operation aimed at deceiving authorities.
This action is part of ongoing efforts to ensure the integrity of vehicle registration systems. The use of fake plates can undermine road safety regulations and aid in criminal activities.
Authorities have not yet detailed the specific charges the suspects will face. Investigations are continuing to determine the full extent of the operation and identify any other individuals involved.
