A routine traffic stop has resulted in the arrest of a woman as well as the recovery of a stolen vehicle yesterday.

Cops report that while conducting speed checks in the 6100 block of Pleasant Valley Road, officers stopped a brown Grand Marquee which had been clocked at 80 km/h in a 50 km/h zone.

“While conducting checks,” says police spokesperson Gord Molendyk, “the officers learned that the vehicle had been reported stolen from an address on Westside Road on August 15^th,” he says.

Police arrested the female driver and turned their attention to her passenger, who cops say is under a Bail order to avoid the Vernon area.

The 23 year old Westside Road resident’s orders to steer clear from the vicinity were imposed by court on July 21^st.

The 37 year old female driver was released on a promise to appear and is expected to face charges of Possession of Stolen Property.

The woman will face further charges for Impersonation after providing cops with a false name during her arrest.
