Police said on Jan 10, at around 10:15 a.m., officers conducted a traffic stop on Romaine Street near Park Street after the plate number indicated a different vehicle from Mississauga.

Officers discovered that the plates were actually made of paper and secured in a plastic sleeve with packing tape.
A 45-year-old driver was charged under the Highway Traffic Act for offences such as using a plate that’s not authorized for the vehicle and failing to apply for a permit on becoming an owner. He was also charged with having no insurance.
