Six drivers who may have been trying to cross the Golden Ears Bridge for free were nabbed by police on Wednesday.
The cars either had their licence plates missing or dirty to the point of being illegible.
All six drivers were ticketed by police. Seven other drivers were also caught for speeding on the bridge.
It is a driver’s responsibility to properly display both front and rear licence plates and make sure they are easily read, said RCMP Insp. Derren Lench.
Police are working in partnership with Translink to catch people who attempt to cross the bridge without paying a toll.
