2 More Impaired Drivers Arrested

(CALEDON, ON) – Officers from the Caledon Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have charged two individuals with alcohol related offences.

On July 26, 2025, at approximately 11:00 p.m., Caledon OPP officers responded to a single vehicle collision in the area of Old School Road and Mississauga Road, in the Town of Caledon. Shortly after, officers arrived on scene and formed grounds that the driver’s ability to operate a motor vehicle was impaired by alcohol.

Following the investigation, Sukhjit DHESI, 47, of Georgetown, was charged with:

• Operation while impaired – blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)
• Careless driving causing bodily harm – two counts

On July 29, 2025, at approximately 2:00 a.m., Caledon OPP conducted a traffic stop upon a vehicle that travelled through a RIDE program on Kennedy Road, near Old School Road, in the Town of Caledon. Officers investigated and formed grounds that the driver’s ability to operate a motor vehicle was impaired by alcohol.

As a result of the investigation, Navraj SIDHU, 43, of Caledon, was charged with:

• Failure or refusal to comply with demand

Both accused are scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Orangeville on August 14, 2025, to answer to their charges. The vehicles were also impounded for a period of seven days, and their driver’s licences were suspended for a period of 90 days.

The OPP remains committed to keeping our communities safe through enforcement and public education. Penalties for failure or refusal to comply with demand are similar to those imposed upon a driver charged with operation while impaired. These penalties include an immediate 90-day licence suspension, seven-day vehicle impoundment, as well as licence reinstatement fees. Additional penalties are imposed upon conviction and increase for each proceeding offence.
