A 19-year-old was arrested by the police after he was caught driving a vehicle without a valid driver's licence or insurance.

In a statement Tuesday, police said that during a routine traffic stop in Marsa at around 3:15pm on Monday, officers saw a vehicle changing direction.

Officers followed the vehicle - a Range Rover - and ordered the driver to stop.

The 19-year-old behind the wheel was not in possession of a valid driver's licence or car insurance. He was also found to have breached bail conditions.

An 11-year-old and a 12-year-old were also in the vehicle, the police said, as the driver was arrested and his vehicle was seized.

He will be arraigned in court later on Tuesday.
