Posted on by

Unpaid insurance led to a raft of criminal charges for a 37-year-old Winnipeg man following a traffic stop in Transcona on Tuesday.

Police said they pulled over a Lincoln Navigator on Panet Road around 5:40 p.m. after noticing that the vehicle’s insurance had lapsed. When talking to officers, the man told them he had weapons in the vehicle and was arrested without incident.
