A woman is without her licence and vehicle after she was found driving with a suspended licence, thanks to a tip from a concerned member of the public.

On November 7, at approximately 1:05 p.m., Lewisporte RCMP responded to a report indicating that a known suspended driver was operating a vehicle headed toward Lewisporte. Police located the described vehicle on Road to the Isles and conducted a traffic stop.

The 81-year-old woman was found to be operating the vehicle with a licence that had been suspended in late 2025. Her vehicle was seized and impounded, and she was issued a ticket under the Highway Traffic Act for operating a vehicle with a suspended licence.
