Four people were taken into police custody and 211 tickets issued during a traffic operation in St. Elizabeth, yesterday.

Head of the St. Elizabeth Police, Acting Superintendent Coleridge Minto said the operation was carried out in Santa Cruz and Black River.

He said 5 motorcycles and four cars were seized.

Superintendent Minto said three of the seized vehicles had been reported stolen. 

Meanwhile, Sub-Officer in Charge of the St. Elizabeth Traffic Department Sergeant Albert Simpson urged motorcyclists to obey road safety rules.
