An 18-year-old Caledon resident is facing a lot of charges after a Sept. 16 incident on Airport Road.
Caledon OPP reports officers spotted a white vehicle travelling north at high speed shortly before 2:30 a.m. The officers, who were travelling southbound, activated the marked cruiser’s emergency equipment and attempted to pull the vehicle over. They observed that the rear lights of the vehicle they were following were turned off in an apparent attempt to evade them.
The officers stopped the pursuit due to the high speed. But another officer later saw the same vehicle heading south in the same area. He observed that the vehicle was being operated without head or tail lights. Subsequently, he pulled the car over and was advised by the driver that he had earlier evaded police.
Through the investigation, officers learned that the driver had taken the vehicle without the owner’s consent.
The young man was charged with flight from pursuit by a police officer, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and taking a motor vehicle without consent.
