The Ghana Police Service has removed more than 11,000 sirens and strobe lights from vehicles nationwide. This action is part of a campaign against the unauthorized use of such equipment.
Assistant Commissioner of Police Alexander Kwaku Obeng, who leads the Education, Research and Training department, announced the operation. He stated that the police are committed to ensuring road safety and order.
Vehicles found with these illegal devices were intercepted during the nationwide crackdown. The police service did not specify the exact locations where the seizures occurred.
Sirens and strobe lights are typically reserved for emergency vehicles. Their use by private citizens can cause confusion and disrupt public safety services.
The operation highlights the police's focus on enforcing traffic laws. This measure aims to prevent misuse of signals that could mislead other road users.
Further details on the legal consequences for vehicle owners found with these items are expected. The police service continues its efforts to maintain discipline on the roads.
