Only four per cent of the 1.59 million summonses with outstanding arrest warrants on traffic offenders have been settled since the 'Ops Warta' operation was launched on May 19, said Bukit Aman Traffic Police chief Datuk Mohd Fuad Abdul Latif.

He said, meanwhile, 550,487 summonses without arrest warrants were also settled by offenders.

A total of 2,691 offenders on the wanted list had been arrested by traffic police, and of the total, 925 people had been charged in court, he said in a statement here Sunday.

He said the remaining 1,766 people had been given police bail, but would still be charged in court.

"A total of 13,191 people surrendered themselves at police stations and were fined a maximum of RM300 for each warrant held," he said.

Mohd Fuad said the enforcement of Ops Warta had shown a positive impact in the sense people had begun checking and paying for their traffic summonses.

He said the police would continue to intensify efforts to search for, detect and capture those who had been issued an arrest warrant and were still reluctant to settle their traffic summonses.

In this regard, those who have been issued a warrant of arrest should visit any nearby police station to resolve their summonses before being charged in court.

The operation is now tracking offenders who have unresolved arrest warrants against them through roadblocks, or by going to their work premises.
