RCMP Alert: Repeat Vehicle Seizure in St. Anthony

A 49-year-old male driver was stopped, marking the second time within a week that his vehicle was seized by police. This incident highlights the persistent issue of unlicensed driving impacting community safety.

RCMP officers identified the offender after a resident’s report led them to the vehicle, where they confirmed that his out-of-province licence remained suspended. This failure to comply with basic road safety laws necessitated the seizure and 30-day impoundment of his car, along with an extended licence suspension.
