(Labrador City, NL) July 7, 2025 – The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (RNC) in Labrador City seized a trail bike and off-road vehicle during weekend traffic stops.

On Sunday (July 6) at approximately 12:30 a.m., Operational Patrol Services conducted a traffic safety stop on two trail bikes that were travelling on the Trans Labrador Highway in Labrador City. One of the bikes was impounded for operating on a highway without a valid insurance policy.

Later in the morning, shortly before 5 a.m., patrol officers observed an all-terrain vehicle being operated on Tamarack Drive and neither the driver or passenger were wearing a helmet. A traffic safety stop was conducted and both of those on the machine were issued Summary Offence Tickets for not wearing a helmet. The ATV was also impounded for operating on a roadway without a valid insurance policy.

The RNC continues to urge the public to report unsafe driving behaviours directly to police by calling 911. To report anonymously, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477), or visit www.nlcrimestoppers.com.
