Tens of thousands of euros collected, vehicles seized and traffic violations recorded during large-scale traffic control in Numansdorp
On Thursday, March 26, a comprehensive control was carried out on the Rijksweg in Numansdorp. The operation was a collaboration between Customs, the Tax and Customs Administration, and the police, focusing on undermining criminal activities. In total, the Tax and Customs Administration collected over €75,000, one car was immediately seized, and seven other vehicles were impounded. Fines were also issued for various traffic violations.
The aim of a comprehensive control like this is broad: to check individuals and vehicles based on various laws. By conducting this control, we aim to identify as many people as possible who are involved in activities that affect or could affect the safety and public order in our country. ANPR hits All license plates of passing traffic were scanned using so-called ANPR cameras. Vehicles passing the control points that triggered an ANPR 'hit' (based on, for example, outstanding tax debts) were intercepted and directed to the control location. In total, 75 vehicles were checked. For these individuals, over €75,000 in outstanding tax debts was collected. One car was immediately seized, and seven other vehicles were impounded. Additionally, fines were issued for, among other things, expired MOT certificates, driving without a license, not wearing seatbelts, and driving on the hard shoulder.
