According to the Peterborough Police Service, at around 1:45 a.m. on March 25, officers responded to a report of a suspected impaired driver in the area of Sir Sanford Fleming Drive and Harper Road.
Police say officers attended the area and located the suspect vehicle a short distance away at a residence. Officers approached the driver and noticed “obvious signs” of impairment, police said.
