Three motorcyclists had their bikes impounded after getting charged with stunt driving in Chatham-Kent. The Chatham-Kent Police Service charged three men after an investigation that began with a citizen’s complaint. On Oct. 3, 2026, officers received a complaint regarding a group of motorcyclists engaging in dangerous driving on St. Clair Street in Chatham. The complaint included concerns about excessive speeds, aggressive riding and conduct that placed other motorists and members of the public at risk. Officers initiated an investigation and reviewed evidence obtained through the complaint process. As a result, police identified three motorcyclists believed to have been operating their motorcycles in a manner consistent with stunt driving offences under Ontario’s Highway Traffic Act. On Oct. 5, officers located the involved riders: an 18-year-old man, a 19-year-old man, and a 28-year-old man, all from Chatham. The men were each charged with one count of stunt driving. Their motorcycles were subsequently impounded for 14 days, and their drivers’ licences were suspended for 30 days in accordance with provincial legislation. The individuals are scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice at a later date. Anyone wishing to report dangerous driving is encouraged to contact the Chatham-Kent Police Service’s non-emergency line at 519-352-1234.
