Police lock up suspended driver's vehicle

A 50-year-old Blenheim man is learning the hard way that when you're banned from driving, you shouldn't get behind the wheel.

Chatham-Kent police said they pulled him over on Chittim Road in Blenheim at around 4:30 p.m. Wednesday.

He was charged and later released with a future court date but the vehicle he was driving will be locked up at an impound lot for 45 days.
