As part of ongoing efforts to apprehend motorists with outstanding warrants of arrest for traffic fines, Cape Town Traffic Services conducted a successful operation at the N2 weighbridge in Somerset West.

Merle Lourens spokesperson for Cape Town Traffic Services says “We have a special warrant of arrest team called Operation Reclaim, for all those people who owe the city outstanding amount on fines who have not paid anything on it and also have still not appeared in court.”

A warrant of arrest will be issued in their names and the Operation Reclaim team will go out and try and find or allocate those with warrants issued in their names.
