Bimenyimana who was arrested on Saturday is said to have been forging motor-vehicle inspection certificates, which he has been selling to other drivers or vehicle owners. <\/p>\n
According to Chief Inspector of Police (CIP) Alexis Rugigana, the Police spokesperson for the Northern region, Bimenyimana has been arrested in the past over similar crimes.<\/p>\n
“At the moment we have identified three vehicles with forged inspection certificates issued by Bimenyimana. In February, he issued a forged certificate for the vehicle RAB 249P and another to RAA 634I driven by one Theogene Nsanzimana, last month,” CIP Rugigana said.<\/p>\n
After his arrest Police also found that the vehicle Bimenyimana was driving had an expired mechanical certificate, which was also forged because it does not appear in the system.<\/p>\n
The motor-vehicle inspection system stores data for all automobiles inspected.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome people became suspicious that Bimenyimana could be involved in criminal activities and forging mechanical certificates; he had issued some of them and was promising many other drivers to get them the certificates, so they decided to report him to Police,” CIP Rugigana said.<\/p>\n
He thanked those, who inform the police on such criminal acts and urged the general public to give no room for such wrongdoers.<\/p>\n
Mechanical certificate can only be obtained from the MIC in Remera, Gasabo District or where the mobile inspection lane is stationed.<\/p>\n
“The arrest of Bimenyimana is part of the Rwanda National Police ongoing crackdown on people involved in forging or unlawfully issuing traffic related documents,” CIP Rugigana said. <\/p>\n
The arrest comes barely one day after Police in Kigali apprehended three people masquerading as Police officers and defrauding people of their money promising to give them driver’s license.<\/p>\n
They had already conned about five people of over Rwf1 million.<\/p>\n
RNP advises the public that it has no brokers and calls for sharing information on anyone alleging to be working on its behalf.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
