CALGARY – Police have laid dozens of charges after busting street racers on Stoney Trail.
Officers were conducting traffic enforcement on Barlow Trail on Friday, when they noticed a number of vehicles heading towards eastbound Stoney Trail.
During a five hour period, police issued 25 summonses for stunting, speeding, and equipment violations.
In one case, a vehicle was caught travelling 251 km/h on Stoney Trail near Glenmore Trail.
Thrower adds that not everyone has bad intentions.
“They just want to go out there socialize show their cars. It’s the few bad apples that want to show up either on the way there doing break stands, causing attention to themselves, racing down the road.”
He says police plan to step up patrols.
“As a result of that, we are going to step up our efforts because that information told us intelligence-wise this is occurring. So if there’s any other information from the public, if there’s racing in the city, call Crime Stoppers, call us, and we will look into it.”
