(CALEDON, ON) – On December 3rd, 2014 at 11:16 am, officers from the Caledon Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) were on general patrol in the area of Coleraine Drive and Mayfield Road when they observed a pick-up with an exhaust pipe dragging on the roadway. The officers activated the marked cruiser’s emergency equipment to conduct a vehicle stop and observed the driver acting suspiciously by reaching over the passenger side of the vehicle before finally coming to a stop. Upon speaking with the male driver, the officers learned that he was bound by a Recognizance Order with conditions; to “keep the peace and be of good behaviour, to not possess non-prescribed drugs and to carry a copy of his release documents with him at all timesâ€Â. The driver was requested to produce the release documents but was unable to comply. Subsequently, the male was arrested and a search of the motor vehicle uncovered a quantity of drugs, believed to be marihuana. Further, officers located full and empty containers of alcohol which had been recently purchased.
The accused was transported to Detachment and a further search uncovered more illegal substances, suspected to be crystal meth and ecstasy.
In conclusion, Muneet GREWAL, 27, from Brampton was arrested and charged with 2 counts of Possession of a Schedule I Substance, Possession of a Schedule II Substance and Fail to Comply with Recognizance. The driver is further charged with offences under the Liquor Licence Act of Ontario and the Highway Traffic Act of Ontario.
