Traffic Department: Suspects of Reckless Driving Arrested, Sent to Central Prison, and Vehicles Impounded

The Ministry of Interior announced that the General Directorate of Traffic Management has apprehended suspects involved in reckless and dangerous driving in two separate incidents, as part of its efforts to combat traffic behaviors that endanger road users’ safety and protect lives and property.

In a press statement, the Ministry of Interior said the first suspect was apprehended after a video was recorded showing him driving a vehicle without license plates in a reckless manner. Through investigative efforts, the Security Surveillance Department obtained information indicating that the suspect had been driving the vehicle in the early hours of the morning. The vehicle was then tracked in the Al-Wafra Agricultural Area and followed until it reached the Um Al-Hayman area, where the driver was apprehended. It was found that the vehicle had no registration data, and the suspect confessed to engaging in reckless and dangerous driving.

Regarding the second incident, the Operations Room received a report of reckless and dangerous driving in the Al-Wafra Agricultural Area. Patrol units responded to the scene and seized the vehicle, while its driver fled. He was later apprehended in coordination with the Security Surveillance Department.

The Ministry clarified that the necessary legal measures were taken against both suspects, who were referred to the Central Prison. Both vehicles were impounded and confiscated in favor of the Ministry of Interior, in accordance with Article 33 bis of the Traffic Law.

The General Directorate of Traffic Management warned that reckless and dangerous driving will not go unpunished, emphasizing that attempts to flee will not prevent the pursuit and apprehension of violators. It reiterated that it will not tolerate any actions that endanger lives and property and will take strict legal action against all such offenders.
