33 tickets issued and 59 vehicles ispected during a safety campaign: Delta police

Delta police say a fully loaded dump truck was pulled off the road earlier this month after officers discovered its brakes were completely inoperable during an enforcement blitz.

Police says officers inspected 59 vehicles during a safety campaign on March 16, handing out 33 tickets, while drivers of 31 vehicles were given orders or had their vehicle placed out of service immediately.

Officers also pulled over a commercial cargo van where the tread on two of its tires was gone and the wear was into the inner structure of the tires.

Thirty inspections of taxis and ride-sharing vehicles were also conducted, with two tickets handed out.
