DVLA CONFIRMS THE ARREST OF A 40-YEAR-OLD MAN

A 40-year-old man, known as Philip Oteng Owusu Ansah has been arrested by personnel from the underground squad of the National Operations Unit of the Ghana Police Service, in collaboration with the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA).

This follows a  successful joint operation resulting in the arrest of Philip Oteng Owusu Ansah. The suspect is alleged to have been involved in the production of counterfeit driver’s licenses, roadworthy, certificates, and other related services from his residence.

“Upon conducting an immediate search of his residence, law enforcement officials found one Eminence Card printing machine, a hard drive, two pen drives, a card reader, an Apple MacBook laptop, an HP monitor, 155 blank cards, four sets of ribbons, three driver licenses, and specimens of holograms for both roadworthy certificates and driver’s licenses stored on his pen drive”, DVLA said.

“The DVLA cautioned the general public to be wary of individuals who claim to offer assistance in processing vehicle documents and driver’s licenses. Instead, they should ensure that they only deal with certified DVLA officials at designated DVLA offices for such services,” DVLA admonished.

“Furthermore, the DVLA management warns those who engage in such illicit activities to cease immediately, as the authority is embarking on a nationwide swoop to arrest and prosecute such perpetrators,” DVLA noted.
