POLICE yesterday said they have launched an operation to
impound all cars that move around without displaying registration number
plates.
Police spokesperson Assistant Commissioner Paul Nyathi in a
statement last night urged motorists to ensure their vehicles display permanent
or temporary number plates as required by the law.
"Only vehicles which have the requisite moratorium
under the current COVID-19 national lockdown regulations from the Ministry of
Transport and Infrastructure Development will be allowed to pass through
checkpoints while displaying temporary registration plates," he said.
Nyathi said some commuter omnibuses were now moving around
without registration plates in order to evade scrutiny at roadblocks or
checkpoints.
"We urge all law-abiding citizens to drive vehicles
with genuine number plates. Police officers will be strictly treating anyone
driving a vehicle without registration plates with suspicion ... The Zimbabwe
Republic Police will impound all vehicles moving with no registration plates to
curb cases of robbery, mushikashika, among others," he said. Newsday
