As part of the traffic checks carried out last night in Paphos, members of the "Z" group of the Paphos Traffic Police stopped a motorcycle driven by a young person at around 10.30 for a check on the coastal front of Geroskipou.
During the inspection, it was found that the driver was a 21-year-old person, resident of Paphos, who from a further inspection appeared to be riding the motorcycle without a driver's license and without a safety certificate.
Further examination revealed that at the rear of the motorcycle, there was an improvised mechanism for hiding the registration plates, while there appeared to be obvious alterations and falsifications on it.
Both the motorcycle and the 21-year-old were taken to the offices of the Paphos Traffic Department where the motorcycle was kept to be inspected by the Road Transport Department while the driver was charged in writing and released to be summoned before a court.
During the traffic checks, a total of 30 complaints were made for various traffic violations while another car was confiscated for further inspection.
Paphos Traffic Police continues the examinations.
