The wearing of face-covered helmets has been banned from April 2 in the wake of an increasing number of robberies and killings being carried out by motorcyclists wearing such helmets, Police said today.

The Police regulation states that helmets covering the face from the eyebrows up to the chin would be no longer allowed to be worn by motorcyclists.

They said they were keen to impose the ban with immediate effect because the identification of criminals wearing face-covered helmets with tinted visors has become a major cause for concern.
