Authorities have arrested five individuals suspected of producing and distributing fake vehicle registration plates. The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority made the arrests with assistance from National Security.
The arrests happened in separate operations. Locations included Lapaz, Narmah, Tarkwa, and Kumasi. This indicates a widespread operation.
The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority issued a statement on March 10 detailing the arrests. The suspects are accused of manufacturing and distributing the fake plates across the country.
This action aims to combat illegal vehicle registration and enhance road safety. Fake plates can be used to disguise stolen vehicles or evade traffic regulations.
Investigations are ongoing to identify all involved parties and the full extent of this illegal network. The DVLA is committed to ensuring the integrity of vehicle licensing in Ghana.
