LIMBANG: Fifty-three traffic offenders using Brunei-registered vehicles were nabbed during an operation here recently over unpaid compounds worth RM7,930.

District police chief Supt Mohd Bukhori Saffai said a total of 120 vehicles were inspected during the operation in front of the Central Police Station here.

“The operation targeted Brunei-registered vehicles with overdue summonses for various traffic offences,” he told reporters yesterday.

Mohd Bukhori explained the operation was conducted in front of the police station because it was the only road for all vehicles passing through Limbang town, whether from Brunei North or Brunei South.

He said similar operations will be conducted from time-to-time to detect offenders and get them to settle their summonses to avoid having legal action taken against them.
