CHUKAI: Twelve motorcycles have been seized during a two-day anti-street racing operation dubbed Ops Samseng Jalanan here.
Kemaman police chief Supt Mohd Razi Rosli said the operation was conducted after a viral video showed a group of motorcyclists racing and riding recklessly around the town.
He added that they issued 74 summonses for various offences under Section 64 of the Road Transport Act 1987.
"The operation involved 17 personnel from 1am to 5am on Saturday (June 7) and continued on Sunday (June 8) during the same hours. During the operation, we seized 12 motorcycles and issued 74 summonses after inspecting 68 vehicles," he said in a statement on Sunday.
Mohd Razi urged parents to pay closer attention to their children's movements and activities, particularly those involving motorcycles.
He said illegal street racing not only breaks the law but also poses a threat to the lives and safety of other road users. – Bernama
