Three vehicles impounded at garda checkpoint in North Kildare
All three vehicles had no insurance or motor tax
Roads Policing Unit members from Naas recently conducted a multi-agency checkpoint operation in North Kildare.
The operation was held alongside road safety partners from the Road Safety Authority (RSA) and Customs and Excise officials.
During the operation, Naas Roads Policing Unit members impounded three vehicles for offences relating to no insurance and failure to display a valid motor tax disc.
Customs officials also impounded a vehicle after it was found to be using marked gas oil (green diesel).
RSA officers also detected a number of road traffic offences, with one vehicle detained pending the completion of urgent repairs to address safety concerns.
A garda spokesperson said of the operation: “These joint operations play an important role in improving road safety, ensuring compliance with road traffic legislation, and protecting all road users.
“An Garda Síochána would like to thank the public for their patience and cooperation during this operation.”
