PSNI and Driver & Vehicle Agency staff 'target' dangerous vehicles in Magherafelt and Moneymore areas
Police have issued 12 prohibition notices for the immediate removal of dangerous vehicles stopped at 'targeted' checkpoints in the Magherafelt and Moneymore areas.
They also handed out 14 fixed penalty tickets for various motoring offences.
The operation involved members of Magherafelt Neighbourhood policing team and Driver and Vehicle Agency staff.
Stressing the importance of having a well-maintained and road-legal car, a PSNI spokesperson said: “Our main goal is keeping our roads safe for everyone, but unfortunately, a number of unroadworthy and non-compliant vehicles were intercepted during the operation.”
