Police in Koforidua in the Eastern region are pursuing one Yaw Attah Yankson who carries himself as the Adwamponghene of New Juaben Traditional area for declining a police invitation over the use of suspected fake customized car number plates.
The suspect, police sources say, is being traced for continuously using fake customized plates on unregistered vehicles against road traffic regulations and clear disregard of the law.
At some point in time, he was spotted attending a program in town in a Ford Raptor with one of the fake customized registration number inscribed “Adwamponghene”.
In spite of efforts by officers from the Motor Transport and Traffic Directorate (MTTD) of the Ghana Police, to invite the suspect over for investigations, their efforts have hit a snag after the suspect’s friend, one Charles Boateng who promised produce him at the regional MTTD command the next day failed to do so.
The culprit, police sources comfirmed to have absconded with the said vehicle after the program.
Besides, he is said to have been using a fake licence plate (Yiadom 3-24) on a black Land Cruiser GX some time last year and had been on the police wanted list.
Boateng, when contacted by the police to produce the suspect on February ,6 however, expressed his disappointment after he reneged on his promise.
The police is threatening to pick up, Boateng, who failed produce Attah Yaw Yankson.
The police have pledged to wage a war on persons who resort to the use of fake number plates, thereby cautioning the general public to desist from using self-acquired fake licence plates but rather engage the Driver Vehicle Licence Authority (DVLA) for original customized plates and other registrations.
