GUELPH POLICE SERVICE
*************************
On Sept. 21, 2020, at 8:25 a.m., a red Dodge Ram truck was observed parked in a no parking and no stopping area in a school zone located near the intersection of Imperial Road South and Paisley Road in the City of Guelph.
On Sept. 22, at 8:25 a.m., a member of the Guelph Police Service observed the same vehicle again parked in the same area. Police approached the vehicle and informed the adult male driver that he would be receiving a ticket, to which he replied “No, I won’t be!” He then started reversing his truck towards a crosswalk, with young school aged children everywhere, pulled around the officer and sped off.
Approximately 5 minutes later, the truck returned to a nearby no parking and no stopping area, but again sped off before police could stop them.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact Constable Sherry Pettapiece at 519-824-1212 ext. 7256, email her at [email protected], leave an anonymous tip at CRIME STOPPERS 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or submit an anonymous tip online at www.csgw.tips.
The Guelph Police Service would like to remind the public the importance of obeying all posted signs, especially in school zones. We would also like to encourage all drivers to be extra vigilant in these areas, especially during busy drop off and pick up times.
