CHUKAI:

 Police have seized 12 motorcycles and issued 74 summonses for various traffic offences during a two-day operation against street racing here.

Kemaman police chief Razi Rosli said the operation was conducted after a viral video showed a group of motorcyclists racing and riding recklessly and dangerously around the town.

The operation involved 17 personnel from 1am to 5am on Saturday and Sunday, he said.

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. - FMT
