At a traffic blitz that took place in Bellville at the weekend the Metro Police’s Operation COCA saw 17 people arrested for outstanding traffic warrants. Officers took to the streets of Bellville with the specific focus on traffic and by-law enforcement as well as visible policing.
“Operation COCA was regarded as a very successful operation last week. During the operation, 17 people were arrested for outstanding traffic warrants and 299 traffic fines were issued. 137 motorists were fined for driving without a licence, while 74 fines were issued for unlicenced motor vehicles,” said Metro Police Spokesperson Nowellen Petersen.
A further 21 fines were issued for by-law offences, 10 fines for not wearing a safety belt and 20 fines for taxi related offences.
Petersen added that as the festive season approaches, the public can be assured that there will be an increase in visibility of officers on the streets as well as a continuation of similar operations.
