Investigators say an officer on patrol saw a Toyota SUV and a BMW sedan going over the speed limit around 11:30 p.m. Thursday night on Queenston Road approaching Gray Road.

Police say the vehicles stopped for a red light at Lake Avenue and then sped off when it turned green. The officer then chased down and stopped both cars.

The two men – a 23-year-old and 36-year-old, both from Stoney Creek – have had their licences suspended and their cars impounded for seven days in addition to facing stunt driving charges.
