Police in Derry seized a number of vehicles as part of a recent road safety operation.
Foyleside and The Moor Neighbourhood officers, working closely with Driver & Vehicle Agency (DVA) transport enforcement colleagues, and assisted by Tactical Group Support colleagues, conducted the operation in the city on September 21 and 22.
Images from the recent road safety operation held in the city.
On some of the vehicles checked, tyres were detected to be below the legal limit. On one vehicle, a modified suspension fell out of the vehicle when risen on the inspection ramp.
In total, 14 vehicles were seized with a number having prohibition notices being placed on them. A number of fixed penalty notices were issued and three motorists will be reported to the Public Prosecution Services.
Additionally, three vehicles operating as illegal taxis were also seized.
Sergeant Stewart said: “This road safety operation demonstrated the condition of some vehicles using our roads. We are committed to keeping our roads safe and that includes ensuring vehicles are roadworthy. We will continue, along with partner agencies, to do all we can to make sure every vehicle on our roads safe, and is driven by an insured, licensed driver."
