Suspended driver caught by onboard licence plate reader

A piece of computer equipment on a police cruiser caught a suspended driver in Seaforth.

The OPP says the 55-year-old Huron East man was pulled over Sunday night.

The cruiser’s automatic licence plate reader recognized the plate on a pickup truck was registered to a suspended driver.

The driver was pulled over and charged with driving while disqualified and failing to provide a breath sample.
