Driver with six driving bans caught behind the wheel in Guelph: police

A Kitchener man has been charged with trafficking and several driving-related charges after he was stopped in Guelph.

The driver was initially pulled over after leaving a business on Silvercreek Parkway South on Saturday night because officers wanted to check the vehicle’s insurance.

The driver said he didn’t own the vehicle, but he was able to hand over the right paperwork.

However, police discovered the man did have six driving prohibitions.

He was arrested and several packages of cocaine, as well as $1,400 in cash, was found during a search.

The 58-year-old was charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking, four counts of driving while prohibited and two counts of driving while suspended.
