A taxi driver and his car owner, Kwaku Asante, left the Takoradi Central Police Station regretting that they had reported to the police that another taxi in the metropolis had the same registration number as their cab.
The police impounded the two cars, both Opel Vectras, when it was established that the person who sold the car to the taxi driver's car owner used fake documents and registration number in processing the transaction.
According to the records, the said vehicle, with registration number GR 4164 S, and the chassis number W00L000087N5104821 was manufactured in 1992 and originally owned by M3 Motors in Accra. It was sold to one Madam Barichisu Mustapha Saagbul in Accra.
But strangely, the documents of the two taxi cabs that were sent to the Takoradi Central Police Station bore the names of Mr & Mrs Joseph and Elizabeth Daniels of Box 1473, Takoradi, who reside at West Fijai. This was transferred to one Joseph Eshun until it was finally purchased by the current owner, Kwaku Asante.
After the report, the two cab drivers were asked to bring their documents, but the complainant returned to the police station not knowing that his documents were fake.
Later when these were sent to officials of the Customs Excise and Preventive Service (CEPS) and the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA) it turned out that the documents of the complainant were fake and the registration number GR 4163 S belonged to Madam Saagbul.
The police source said at the moment, the Takoradi office of the Customs, Excise and Preventive Service had the vehicles in their custody. They have warned the public to be meticulous with their inspection of documents covering vehicles they are interested in buying.
