Zennevallei Police Arrest 57 in First Half of 2026, Citing ANPR Cameras as Key Aid

The Zennevallei police zone has reported significant success in combating crime during the first half of 2026, apprehending 57 individuals for criminal offenses. Alongside these arrests, law enforcement seized 63 vehicles, substantial quantities of drugs, and prohibited weapons.

“

The figures from the first 6 months of 2026 show that the team is playing close attention.

Police attribute these achievements largely to the strategic deployment of ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) cameras and the dedicated efforts of the Scorpio team. This specialized unit, which transitioned to full-time operation at the beginning of the year, focuses on combating crime and nuisance through a proactive approach involving intelligence gathering, patrolling, and rapid response.

Also thanks to the ANPR cameras with automatic number plate recognition, we can carry out targeted checks.

The Scorpio team's mandate includes targeting drug trafficking, illegal possession of weapons, and identifying suspicious vehicles. The police noted that the team's enhanced operational capacity has allowed them to not only respond to incidents but also to proactively seek out and address unsafe situations, with the first semester's results demonstrating the effectiveness of this strategy.

The expansion to a full-time operation has given the team the necessary breathing room to not only react to incidents but also to proactively search for unsafe situations.
