AWKA — The Anambra State Police Command has said the ongoing impounding of vehicles with tinted windows is part of a security operation aimed at addressing rising insecurity and preventing criminals from exploiting such vehicles.
The exercise, which has affected vehicles with and without tinted glass permits, has generated concern among motorists across the state.
Explaining the operation, the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Tochukwu Ikenga, said the exercise is not intended to inconvenience law-abiding residents but to verify the authenticity of tinted glass permits and enforce compliance with relevant vehicle regulations.
According to him, security operatives are impounding vehicles with tinted windows regardless of whether the owners present tinted glass permits. The operation also targets unregistered vehicles and those with concealed, covered or defaced number plates.
