He said any person riding motorcycles bicycles without helmet would also be arrest and made to face the law.
Drivers or riders found driving or riding unresgistered vehicles and motorcycles would have themselves to blame, he said.
ASP Quaye said these were measures the police had taken to minimise accidents, reduce crime and ensure peace and tranquility in Winneba.
He therefore appealed to the people to cooperate with the police in their efforts to maintain law and order in the district by giving out information about criminals, including wee smokers to the police.
