BBC NEWS | England | Beds/Bucks/Herts | Crackdown nets 21 over seat belts: "Crackdown nets 21 over seat belts
More than 20 people stopped by police in a crackdown on car crime were not wearing seat belts, police revealed.
Officers in Stevenage, Hertfordshire, stopped 35 vehicles last Thursday in an automated number plate recognition and casualty reduction control operation.
Officers issued 21 tickets for not wearing seat belts and recovered two vehicles for having no insurance and their drivers having no licence.
Sgt Andy Treagus, from Herts Police, said more crackdowns were planned.
'Two thirds of the vehicles stopped were issued with tickets,' said Sgt Treagus.
'Seatbelts and insurance are there for valid reasons. By not complying with the law people are putting both themselves and other road users at serious risk.
'This operation serves as a harsh warning to other road users who flout the law. We will find you and take appropriate action.' "
