Yesterday morning around 9:30 a.m. an officer on general patrol observed a vehicle travelling southbound on Bruinsma Avenue in Wallaceburg. A query of the licence plates revealed that they were not authorized for the vehicle. The officer initiated a traffic stop on Dufferin Avenue.
Through investigation, the officer learned that the female driver was suspended for unpaid fines. The woman was also unable to produce ownership or insurance for the vehicle.
The 26-year-old Wallaceburg woman was charged with driving while under suspension, using plates not authorized for the vehicle, failing to surrender a permit for the vehicle and failing to have insurance. She was released pending a future court date.
The licence plates were seized and the vehicle was towed from the scene.
