Video: Traffic Department Arrests Suspects for Reckless Driving, Sends Them to Central Prison, and Impounds Their Vehicles

The Ministry of Interior announced that the General Directorate of Traffic Management successfully apprehended suspects involved in reckless and careless 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 operating 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 admitted to committing reckless and careless driving offenses.

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

The Ministry stated that appropriate 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 careless driving would not go unpunished, emphasizing that attempts to flee would not prevent the pursuit and apprehension of violators. It reiterated that it would not tolerate any actions that endanger lives and property, and that legal measures would be taken against all such offenders.
