    RNC charged two drivers and seized four vehicles in the Corner Brook regions in one 24-hour period last week. On Thursday (Jan. 29) around  2:20 a.m.,  police pulled a vehicle over on Griffin Drive and charged a 24-year-old man with impaired driving. His drivers license was suspended and the vehicle seized. 

    Just before noon, RNC caught a 47-year-old suspended driver near Western Memorial Hospital and seized the vehicle. Shortly thereafter, officers seized a third vehicle on Tenth Avenue in Pasadena and a 43-year-old from Deer Lake was issued tickets for suspended driving. 

    A fourth vehicle was seized on Humber Road just before 1 p.m., after the driver fled from a traffic stop but the driver fled after being identified. The vehicle  was located unoccupied a short while later on Main Street. A warrant has been issued.
