The three-wheelers, which are commonly used as taxis in Asia, will be driven by officers and council 'ambassadors', according to Gwent Police
Thursday 27 October 2022 16:59, UKA Welsh police force has spent nearly £40,000 on four tuk-tuks which it says will help them fight crime.
The three-wheelers, which are commonly used as taxis in Asia, will be driven by officers and council"ambassadors", according to Gwent Police. It unveiled the initiative earlier this month and said they would patrol parks and other public areas in Newport and Abergavenny, day and night. The force said they would provide"safe spaces" where people could seek help, report incidents or get crime prevention advice.
Each of the electric tuk-tuks cost £9,936, or £39,744 in total, according to a Freedom of Information request.However, the chances of seeing a tuk-tuk in a Hollywood-style chase around the streets of southeast Wales are slim as their top speed is limited to under 35mph.
