The Police arrested 809 persons who violated curfew regulations and took into custody 166 vehicles used by them in a 24-hour period ending at 6 a.m. today.

According to the Police Media Unit, the figure brings the total arrested for curfew violations since 20 March to 6,850 and 1,643 vehicles have been detained in total.

The Government deployed members of the armed forces to assist the Police in enforcing curfew regulations last weekend due to a surge in offenders and those who misused curfew permits.
