Ampang Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Mohd Azam Ismail said the motorcycles were seized during the operation on Saturday (May 11) in Jalan Ampang and Tasek Permai.

They were impounded for various offences including illegal modifications or because the riders did not have a valid licence, he said in a statement on Sunday (May 12).
