More Impaired Drivers Arrested

(CALEDON, ON) – Members of the Caledon Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) have charged two drivers with impaired-related offences following traffic stops for violations of the Highway Traffic Act.

On February 26, 2025, shortly after 11:00 p.m., an officer patrolling the area of Mayfield Road, near Ace Drive, conducted a traffic stop. The investigation led to the driver being arrested.

As a result, Amanpreet SINGH, 36, of Brampton, was charged with:

• Failure or refusal to comply with demand

• Driving motor vehicle with liquor readily available

• Red light – fail to stop

The accused is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Orangeville on March 13, 2025, to answer to the charges.

A few hours later, on February 27, 2025, shortly after 1:00 a.m., an officer patrolling the area of Highway 10 and Old School Road also conducted a traffic stop. During the investigation, grounds were formed that the driver’s ability to operate a motor vehicle was impaired by alcohol, which led to their arrest.

As a result, Lovepreet LITT, 26, of Brampton, was charged with:

• Operation while impaired – blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)

The accused is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Orangeville on March 20, 2025, to answer to the charge.

Both driver’s licences were also suspended for 90 days, and the vehicles impounded for seven.

This is an opportunity to remind motorists that failure or refusal to comply with a demand in an impaired operation investigation is a criminal offence. Furthermore, the consequences an individual will face are the same as being charged with impaired operation.
