At 6 p.m. Wednesday, police say they conducted a routine traffic safety stop on the main road in the Goulds section of St. John's when the 25-year-old male passenger tossed a package out of the vehicle.
The package was recovered and the passenger was charged with two breaches of court order and possession of a controlled drug or substance. He was held at the lockup to appear in court this morning (Thursday).
As well, the 25-year-old male driver was charged with driving with a suspended driver's licence. He was released with a court date in the near future.
Wednesday morning shortly after 10:30 a.m., patrol officers stopped a vehicle in the C.B.S. area when they recognized the driver. The 27-year-old man was ticketed for driving while suspended.
An hour later in the town, officers stopped a vehicle after noticing it had an expired registration sticker.
A 29-year-old man was ticketed for operating without insurance, operating an unregistered vehicle and operating without a valid driver’s licence.
