Teen Remanded to Rehabilitation Centre on Multiple Traffic Charges

A 17-year-old male has been ordered to the Denis Bowers Rehabilitation Centre following his appearance before the Child Justice Board earlier this week. The teenager faces multiple traffic-related charges, including driving without a valid licence, operating a vehicle without insurance, and the fraudulent use of a registration plate. He will remain in custody until November 17, when his case is scheduled to be heard. The offences occurred on October 13, when a white 2011 Honda Fit was intercepted during a crime prevention operation in St. John’s. After a thorough investigation, the teen was arrested and charged over the weekend. The Police Administration has issued a stern reminder to all motorists to ensure their vehicles are properly licensed and insured, stressing that adherence to traffic laws is essential for road safety and accident prevention.
