A string of traffic stops in Caledon led to multiple charges after police busted vehicles that were not being operated safely.

A 43-year-old tow truck driver from Thunder Bay was charged after officers say they discovered multiple equipment issues.

When police pulled the driver over, they alleged the tow truck’s equipment was not in proper working order, the vehicle was not securely fastened, and required documents were not provided.

An Ontario-numbered company based in Nipigon was also charged in connection with the incident, accused of unsafe towing practices and failing to have required business records.

In a separate traffic stop, a 27-year-old Caledon resident was charged with operating an over-width load, failing to properly mark an overhanging load, and not having a required permit.

Officers continue to remind drivers that road safety depends on everyone and encourage people to report dangerous driving when they see it.
