Gardaí say the tactics were no match for their Automatic Number Plate Recognition(ANPR) system
A motorist who was described by gardai as a 'Wannabe Ninja' was caught driving in 'stealth mode' by gardai in the Midlands
Laois Gardaí said a car driving in ‘stealth mode’ at night without lights was no match for their technology.
The motorist had no insurance, no tax and no NCT and was also disqualified from driving.
Gardai took to social media and posted:
“Laois RPU patrolling Portlaoise last night observed this Ford Focus driving with no headlights on. This very poor attempt at "stealth mode" was no match for ANPR's infra red cameras which quickly alerted for: No Insurance. No Tax. No NCT,” gardai stated.
Garda said the motorist will face a court appearance following the detection.
