AS the “soliciting of passengers” campaign continues, 17 more touts were arrested and charged on Monday, police said on Wednesday in a release.
This exercise was conducted by Sergeant 18039 Michael Ramdas and ranks of Traffic Headquarters at the route 31, 32,40,41,42,43,44,45 and 72 mini-bus parks. The department continues to address the challenges commuters are currently facing at the parks.
Traffic Chief, Senior Superintendent Linden Isles, sternly stated: “this exercise is aimed to rid the parks of all touts and as such the public cooperation is critical”. This campaign will be ongoing until the desired results are achieved. So far, over 100 touts have been arrested and charged.
