Police Spokesperson CP Fred Enange has revealed that there are drivers of taxis and bodas who use fake number plates, which are fixed on the empty plate, to enable them carry out robberies and go undetected.
He revealed this during a press conference. He added that after the commission of the crime or robbery, these drivers and motorists remove the fake number plates and dispose them.
Enanga added that it is difficult to trace for the wanted car with fake number plates under the Automated Number Plate Recognition System.
Enanga also sad that security task teams and traffic officers, are now required to routinely check registration plates to confirm if they are genuine. Cloned plates are used by criminal to disguise its identity, hide the fact that it is stolen or avoid paying fines generated by camera systems.
The cloning and defacing of genuine number plates affects road safety and provides cover for criminal. Therefore, all culprits glorifying the usage of fake number plates will face very severe consequences.
