RCMP Traffic Services West conducted a traffic stop in Deer Lake yesterday which resulted in several Highway Traffic Act charges for a Deer Lake man.
The man's vehicle was impounded and charges are pending for operating a vehicle without insurance, operating with a suspended driver's licence and operating an unregistered vehicle. As this is the third time in three years that the man has been stopped by Traffic Services, the officer decided to compel the man to appear in court rather than issue traffic tickets.
The matter remains under investigation.
