Vehicle inspections that were being done at the Laqere bridge this morning was not a police operation but a random exercise by the Police Special Response Unit.
More than 20 officers from the Special Response Unit were at the Laqere bridge checking vehicles this morning.
This also caused a major traffic jam.
A number motorists stuck in traffic had contacted us as they were concerned about the traffic jam which was caused by the police exercise.
When asked about the reason for the vehicle checks and the traffic jam, Police Spokesperson Ana Naisoro says they are looking into this issue as there was an exercise conducted by their officers.
