A 41-year-old man is accused of driving without a licence – the same charge he’s faced more than a dozen times previously, police say.
It was just after 10 a.m. on Sunday when Aylmer police say they stopped a vehicle travelling on Talbot Street East in the Elgin County town of about 7,70 people, located southeast of London. The driver failed to produce a driver’s licence, police say.

London’s latest heat wave drags on
The heat warning for London, the fifth one issued by Environment Canada so far this summer, is expected to continue until at least Tuesday.
The national weather agency issued the warning for London, Parkhill and eastern Middlesex County. It calls for daytime highs of 32 C to 35 C and overnight lows of at least 22 C. The humidex value is expected to hover between 37 and 42.
Environment Canada issues heat warnings in southern Ontario when daytime highs reach at least 31 C and overnight lows remain above 20 C for two or more days, or when humidex values hit 40. The warning is in effect until Tuesday and possibly Wednesday.
“A cooler air mass is expected to arrive Tuesday night, bringing an end to this heat event,” officials said in a statement. “There is the possibility that eastern Ontario and the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area could see hot and humid conditions continue into Wednesday.”
A temporary ban on all open air fires was announced by the London Fire Department on Monday. That means no bonfires, camp fires or burns in any type of barrel, chimineas, fire tables or fire pits, city officials said.
All active burn permits are suspended, they noted. “The ban will remain in effect until further notice.”
