Disqualified driver from Peterborough handed further ban after being stopped in Crowland
Rural officers were taking part in a day of action to tackle rural crime when they stopped the driver from Peterborough
A disqualified driver from Peterborough who was caught out by rural officers on a day of action has been handed a further ban.
Cristian Tinca, aged 22, was stopped by rural officers on patrol in James Road, Crowland, Lincolnshire, as part of a multi-agency operation to tackle cross-border rural crime along the border between Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire on 26th March.
Checks on police systems revealed he was disqualified from driving until 11th April after being convicted of driving offences in July last year.
Tinca, of Lincoln Road, Peterborough city centre, admitted driving whilst disqualified at Cambridge Magistrates’ Court on Friday (4th July), and was handed a further six-month driving ban and a £400 fine.
Sergeant Tom Nuttall, from the force’s Rural Crime Action Team (RCAT), said:
“These days of action are regularly held across the county and allow us to ensure motorists are complying with road laws and remove drivers and unsafe vehicles from our rural roads.
“Tinca was almost at the end of his ban, but his reckless decision to get behind the wheel has resulted in him being further disqualified.”
