RCMP report on successful traffic enforcement in Southeast N.B.

, , , ,

New Brunswick RCMP conducted a traffic enforcement operation in Southeastern New Brunswick from March 26 to April 6, 2026.

Members of the Grand Bay-Westfield, Hampton, and Sussex RCMP detachments were present when 97 tickets were issued and 11 vehicles were towed. The officers also issued 200 warnings.

Nine people were issued license suspensions for driving while under the influence of alcohol and one other was charged for impaired driving.

Four were found to be driving with a suspended license and were charged. Two other individuals have been charged after fleeing police.

Constable Mike Rowsell of the RCMP Hampton Detachment said enforcement in the area will continue, as it is a priority.

“The success of this initiative is reflected not just in numbers, but in the reduction of risk on our roads and the increased safety for every driver and family,” said Rowsell.

The RCMP says that reporting dangerous or suspected impaired drivers to 911 can make New Brunswick roads safer.
