Police cash in on unlicensed vehicles

POLICE are making a killing from a recently launched operation to nab unlicensed vehicles, and those with fitted bar headlights, as well as touts.

The issue was revealed in a recent police update on on-going operations to combat crime when the force said millions of Zimbabwean dollars had been realised from fines paid by offenders, the largest amount collected being $270 million from nabbed touts.

The police operation comes soon after government banned the mounting of bar headlights on vehicles through Statutory Instrument (SI) 129 of 2015.
