On April 11, the Hokkaido Police Department Asahikawa Headquarters Asahikawa Mobile Police Corps and the Asahikawa Area Headquarters Transportation Division found unauthorized passers who repeatedly broke through the ETC lane of the Asahikawa Takasu Toll Gate on the Do-O Expressway without paying toll charges. , Announced that it has been arrested on suspicion of violating the Road Maintenance Special Measures Law (illegal traffic on ETC lanes).

This arrest was triggered by the fact that the suspect repeatedly repeated forcible breakthroughs without paying fees at the ETC lane at the toll gate, but the Company reported to the Hokkaido police based on the image of the vehicle surveillance camera. It is now.

To date, we have been using a vehicle surveillance camera and other measures to ensure that customers do not lose their trust in toll roads, and we have been working with a strong stance of not allowing unauthorized traffic. We believe that the arrest of a suspect who has passed the traffic will ensure fairness in the burden of toll charges and deter unauthorized traffic.

We will continue to take a resolute attitude against illegal traffic and will actively cooperate with police investigations to tackle illegal traffic.

The suspect in this case will be checked for toll charges and will be charged a surcharge (twice the exempt toll charge) in addition to the illegal toll charge.
