Following intensive checks to ensure order and security in maritime areas, the Border Police and the Maritime Police Unit, in front of Dhërmi beach, found a Jet Ski-type watercraft, driven by a 12-year-old citizen.
Immediately, the Border Police and the Maritime Police Unit stopped the vessel and, during verifications, it turned out that the driver was 12 years old, while the vessel did not have the mandatory documentation on board.
For these violations, the owner of the vessel, citizen M. Xh., was punished with an administrative fine of 10,000 new leks, and the vessel was impounded.
The Border Police appeals to citizens and entities that rent out watercraft to never entrust these vehicles to minors or persons who do not meet the legal requirements for driving them.
