Police in Motherwell Cluster Stations joined hands with Nelson Mandela Bay Emergency Services, Metro Police and Metro Traffic in a combined roadblock on the N2 yesterday between Coega and Colchester.
The aim of the roadblock was to check the outgoing traffic out of the Metro towards other parts of the Eastern Cape Province.
This weekend high volumes of road users are expected to take to the road before Christmas day on Monday. Focus was placed on roadworthy, drivers licences, vehicle registrations as well as illegal items such as drugs, firearms and stolen property and livestock.
During this roadblock almost 600 vehicles were searched and checked and 76 traffic fines issued for various traffic act violations.
Police also maintained high visibility at most major shopping centers and malls in the Metro to ensure safety and security for all doing their Christmas shopping.
More police operations will continue throughout this weekend.
