On Tuesday evening at approximately 9:35 p.m., a 20-year-old Oakville man was driving his black Mazda on Gordon Street when he attempted to turn into a parking lot.
The vehicle went up over the curb and struck a construction sign which caused a front tire to go flat. He continued to drive through the parking lot.
When police arrived to investigate the collision, the vehicle and driver was located at the other end of the parking lot and small bag of marijuana was seen inside of the vehicle.
