Brigadier Omar Al Ghazal Al Shamsi, Director-General of the General Department of Operations and Security Support, said these measures fall within the force’s responsibility to safeguard community security and ensure residents’ comfort.

He noted that some motorists particularly youths continue to violate laws by using vehicles and motorbikes fitted with illegal modifications that generate excessive noise, disturbing residents in neighbourhoods and on public roads.

“This behaviour is unacceptable and will not be tolerated,” he said, adding that legal action will be strictly enforced against offenders.

Authorities will continue to intensify inspection campaigns to monitor and track violating vehicles and motorcycles, taking necessary action against them.

Police also urged parents to monitor their children’s behaviour and raise awareness about the risks and legal consequences of such actions. They stressed the importance of family guidance in promoting responsible conduct and preserving peace in residential communities.
