He really didn't want to pay the toll!
Langley RCMP Corporal Holly Marks says a 50 year old Maple Ridge man who frequented the Golden Ears Bridge is now in big trouble. She tells us the man was caught with an altered license plate, which fooled the system for a while.
"[He] altered the face of the license plate with cut-outs from other license plates... This is our first experience, to this point, with the toll bridge where something like this has happened.
She explains, "[It was a] quite a well-executed alteration. You wouldn't necessarily recognize what had been done unless you were really, really looking closely."
Marks says they started investigating the situation after a man who had never used the bridge before complained he kept getting a bill in the mail.
The toll evader was fined over $400 for failing to display a front plate, altering his license plate, and speeding.
