In Kazan, police intensify checks on cars with VTM plates and linked high-risk profiles

In Kazan, the State Automobile Inspectorate has stepped up checks, focusing on vehicles bearing the set of letters VTM on their license plates, according to reports gathered by Mash Iptash. The initiative reflects a broader effort by traffic authorities to monitor drivers who may be operating vehicles in violation of traffic rules or with questionable ownership connections, especially when the car’s branding or registration raises suspicion among law enforcement teams. The police detail a workflow where they identify high-risk routes, notify posts along those routes, and coordinate the timing of inspections to curb reckless driving and potential criminal activity behind the wheel. These measures appear to be part of an ongoing program rather than a one-off raid, with multiple instances recorded over time as authorities refine their alert networks and information-sharing practices.
