JAKARTA - The Garut Police Traffic Unit personnel ticketed a motorist carrying a motorcycle with a strange license plate with the words "MALES CREDIT" in an orderly traffic operation in the Bunderan Suci area, Garut Regency, West Java.

"We found (during the operation) the motorbike was about to turn around, then we immediately stopped it," said Head of the Garut Police Traffic Unit, AKP Asep Nugraha, to reporters in Garut, reported by Antara, Friday, August 14.

He said the black duck-type motorbike was caught in an orderly traffic operation that is routinely carried out by the Garut Police Traffic Unit at the Holy Roundabout in the Garut urban area, Thursday, August 13.

The speed of the motorbike, he said, looked suspicious, and was about to turn around, until the officers finally stopped and checked the documents and the condition of the vehicle.

"The results of the inspection of vehicle documents show that the STNK tax died from 2015, it has been five years," he said.

Apart from the dead tax, he said, there was something unique about the license plate of the vehicle, namely that there were no letters and numbers, but only the words "MALES CREDIT" attached to the front and back of the motorcycle.

The two-wheeled Honda Astrea, he said, was then carried by the police to the Garut Police Headquarters, the owner of the vehicle could take it back on condition that he brought the original number plate.

"The owner can take it on condition that they bring the original number plate and proof of valid ownership," he said.

Meanwhile, until now, motorcycle vehicles with non-conforming number plates are still at the Garut Police Headquarters waiting for the owner of the vehicle to pick it up.
