Traffic Department Arrests Suspects for Recklessness, Impounds Their Vehicles

The General Directorate of Traffic succeeded in apprehending suspects involved in reckless and careless driving in two separate incidents, as part of its efforts to combat traffic behaviors that endanger road users and to protect lives and property. The first suspect was apprehended after a video was circulated showing him driving a vehicle without license plates in a reckless manner. Through surveillance and investigation, the Security Control Department obtained information indicating that the vehicle was being used 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 registered data, and the suspect confessed to engaging in reckless and careless driving.

In the second incident, an operational room received a report of reckless and careless driving in the Al-Wafra Agricultural Area. Patrol units promptly responded to the scene, seized the vehicle, and pursued its driver, who initially fled but was later apprehended in coordination with the Security Control Department.

Appropriate legal measures were taken against both suspects, and they 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 warns that acts of recklessness and carelessness will not go unpunished, emphasizing that attempts to flee will not prevent the pursuit and apprehension of violators. It further stresses that it will not tolerate any behavior that endangers lives and property, and will take strict legal action against all such offenders.
