A 47-year-old man is facing multiple charges after Ontario Provincial Police stopped a vehicle after an officer clocked it travelling 140 km/h in an 80 km/h zone on Highway 105 over the weekend.

Const. Ryan Russ told CTV News, in an email Wednesday, that the incident occurred at about 11:50 a.m. on Nov. 2, when OPP Const. Ryan Euler was conducting radar enforcement in the Red Lake detachment area.

Police said the investigation escalated following the stop.

“During a search of the vehicle, officers found ammunition, which the driver is prohibited from possessing,” said OPP in a social media post.

Charges laid, licence suspended

The motorist is now facing charges for stunt driving and failing to comply with an undertaking.

“The driver’s licence was suspended and the vehicle was impounded,” said police.

Under provincial law, the driver’s licence was suspended for 30 days and the vehicle was impounded for 14 days as a result of the stunt driving charge.

The accused is scheduled to appear in court at a later date.

Police plea for public to slow down

OPP used the situation to reiterate the purpose of speed enforcement operations.

“Speed limits aren’t suggestions – they’re there to protect everyone on the road,” police said.

“Slow down and arrive alive,” said Russ in the post.
