A young man has been arrested in St. John's, N.L., for numerous traffic offences, including about $45,000 in outstanding fines.

The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary says officers stopped a vehicle for a traffic violation in the area of New Gower Street around 12:30 a.m. today.

The vehicle's owner was charged with allowing his vehicle to be operated by a unlicensed and uninsured driver.
