(Corner Brook, NL) February 24, 2026 – The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary (RNC) seized a number of vehicles in the Corner Brook Region over the weekend.

From February 20 to February 22, RNC Traffic Services West and Operational Patrol Services seized numerous vehicles from drivers who were operating over the limit as prescribed by the Highway Traffic Act.

Within a one-hour period Sunday (Feb. 22) three drivers ages 27, 33 and 36, all had their licences suspended following roadside screening in the early morning hours.

On Saturday (Feb. 21) a traffic stop on Broadway led to a seven-day driving suspension for a 21-year-old after he provided a roadside sample indicating he had consumed alcohol. By law, drivers under 22 years of age must maintain a zero blood alcohol level while driving.

On Friday (Feb. 20) around 1:30 a.m., officers conducted a traffic safety stop on Main Street that resulted in a 23-year-old being charged with impaired driving and refusal. His driver’s license was suspended and vehicle seized. He was released to appear in court at a later date.

Two other weekend drivers, aged 30 and 38, also faced license suspensions and had their vehicles towed after roadside screening tests.

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