A taxi owner from Port Elizabeth who has 69 warrants of arrest for outstanding traffic fines was finally tracked down and arrested at his house.
The 33-year-old man's outstanding fines and warrants are a staggering R160 000.
Nelson Mandela Bay's head of Traffic and Licencing Warren Prins says the suspect has been evading the traffic department for months and is one of 50 suspects wanted in the Metro for outstanding fines.
The man appeared in the Municipal Traffic Court on Tuesday and is out on bail of R2 000.
Prins says plans are afoot to address the callous lawlessness on Nelson Mandela Bay roads as it put the lives of law-abiding motorists and pedestrians in jeopardy.
