The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority DVLA, working with National Security, has arrested five people. They are accused of making and selling fake vehicle number plates across the country.
The arrests took place in different areas, including Lapaz, Narhman, and Tarkwa. This coordinated effort targeted a syndicate believed to be responsible for these counterfeit plates.
Officials stated that the operation aimed to curb illegal activities related to vehicle registration. Fake plates can be used to avoid detection and may be linked to other crimes.
The suspects are currently in custody. Investigations are ongoing to identify all members of the syndicate and the extent of their operations.
This action highlights the authorities' commitment to ensuring the integrity of vehicle identification systems. The DVLA plays a key role in issuing official license plates.
