RCMP Traffic Services Central conducted a traffic stop on May 9, 2023, with a driver who is well known to Glovertown Detachment for violations of the Highway Traffic Act.

Recently, the detachment has received a number of reports of various traffic violations involving this driver from concerned citizens in Glovertown.

On Tuesday afternoon, an officer on patrol observed the 23-year-old man driving while suspended in Glovertown. A traffic stop was conducted and the vehicle was found to be without registration. In addition to being suspended, the driver, who was the lone occupant in the vehicle, held a beginner's permit which required an accompanying driver.

The vehicle was seized and impounded and the driver was ticketed under the Highway Traffic Act for a number of violations.
