TWO men, 44 and 46, are expected to face a magistrate on January 10, separately charged with two traffic offences.

The men, from Moruga and Princes Town, were arrested in separate road traffic exercises by officers from the Princes Town municipal police station.

The first exercise took place on January 7 between 1 pm-4 pm and was co-ordinated by acting Supt Guzman and acting ASP Morris-Garcia.

The officers arrested Nigel Braxton of St Croix Road, Princes Town, 46, for allegedly driving while disqualified and without a valid insurance certificate. Acting Sgt Ali, Cpl Rebeiro and acting Cpl Hosein were involved in the exercise.
