St. Anthony RCMP seized a vehicle from a 49-year-old man during a traffic stop on Thursday morning. It was the second vehicle seized from the same driver this week for operating without a valid licence or insurance policy.

Shortly before 10:00 a.m. on July 23, police in St. Anthony responded to a report of a driver suspected of operating without a valid driver’s licence. When police located the described vehicle, they confirmed that the driver’s out-of-province licence was suspended, and that the car was not registered or properly insured. In addition, the driver was known to police, as officers had stopped him earlier in the week for the same offences and impounded the car he was driving at that time. 

For a second time in less than a week, the vehicle he was driving was seized and impounded by police for a period of 30 days and he was issued an additional licence suspension. 

St. Anthony RCMP thanks to the resident who called to report their concerns, and reminds anyone who witnesses criminal or suspicious behaviour to contact their local police as soon as possible. 

Across the province, RCMP officers are patrolling the roads, looking for impaired and unsafe drivers, checking for seatbelts and ensuring vehicles and drivers are operating safely and with the appropriate documentation. Motorists are reminded to drive safe, drive sober and ensure that your licence, registration and insurance are always up to date.
