RCMP Issue 293 Tickets, Tow 50 Vehicles in Greater Moncton Operation

Police issued 293 tickets during a traffic enforcement operation in the Greater Moncton region of southeastern New Brunswick from October 29 to October 31, 2026, the RCMP said.

The operation involved members of the New Brunswick RCMP's Tactical Traffic Enforcement Unit (TTEU), the Codiac Regional RCMP and New Brunswick's Department of Justice and Public Safety.

Results of the operation

According to the RCMP, the tickets were issued under the New Brunswick Motor Vehicle Act. Police reported:

• 293 tickets issued in total
• 69 tickets for speeding
• 1 driver arrested for impaired driving
• 50 vehicles towed
• 63 vehicles inspected, 18 of which were deemed unsafe to be on New Brunswick roads

Police said a number of warnings were also issued during the operation.

Focus on vehicle safety

Cpl. Stéphane Dugas of the Tactical Traffic Enforcement Unit stressed the importance of keeping vehicles in good condition.

"A well-maintained vehicle is a safe vehicle, and safety should always be a top priority for every motorist," Dugas said.

He said a valid safety inspection protects not only drivers but also passengers, pedestrians and other motorists, and he thanked those who obey traffic laws and maintain their vehicles.

The RCMP said the TTEU carries out regular, targeted traffic enforcement on roads across the province. Its goals are to improve road safety, educate drivers about traffic laws and reduce collisions causing serious injury or death.

How to report a dangerous driver

Police are asking the public to help keep dangerous drivers off the road. Anyone who sees a dangerous driver or a suspected impaired driver is asked to call 911. According to the RCMP, a description of the driver and vehicle, the licence plate number and the direction of travel can help officers respond.
