281 cars seized in crackdown

Sharjah Police have seized 281 vehicles during a campaign against reckless driving in residential areas in the last one month.

Colonel Dr Ahmad Saeed Al Noor, acting director of the Traffic and Patrol Department, said the police have intensified efforts to prevent motorists from disturbing peace in neighbourhoods. “The culprits were organising illegal rallies and performing stunts on the roads and causing chaos and panic among other motorists,” Col Al Noor said.

Confiscated vehicles included cars whose engines were modified.
