Officers conducted a speed and exhaust noise enforcement campaign in and around Bradford on Friday after months of complaints from residents, South Simcoe police say.

As part of the campaign, a 21-year-old Bradford man had his licence plates seized when an inspection revealed his vehicle’s complete exhaust system was modified and the vehicle’s emission control equipment was removed, police say.

The man was ticketed two days prior for noise, officers add.
