The Ghana Police Service has intensified its crackdown on the unauthorised use of sirens, strobe lights, beacon lights and other illegal vehicle modifications in the Western and Western Central regions.
The two-day enforcement and public sensitisation exercise, conducted from July 17 to 18 in Sekondi-Takoradi and Tarkwa, was carried out by the National Police Headquarters, the Western Regional Motor Traffic and Transport Department (MTTD) and the Western Central Regional MTTD.
The Police said 789 vehicles were intercepted during the operation.
Out of the vehicles inspected, 57 were found with unauthorised sirens, while 732 had illegal strobe lights and improvised lamps.
The Police removed and seized all unauthorised accessories, while affected drivers were educated on the Road Traffic Regulations and issued warning letters.
The exercise also included public education through radio discussions and media engagements to encourage compliance with traffic laws and improve road safety.
The Ghana Police Service said similar enforcement and sensitisation exercises will be conducted across the country to ensure strict adherence to road traffic regulations.
