(COLLINGWOOD, ON) – On May 23, 2026, at approximately 1:30 a.m., members of the Collingwood and The Blue Mountains Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) were conducting a Reduce Impaired Driving Everywhere (RIDE) program when a vehicle failed to stop and fled from police.

• Flight from Peace Officer
• Possession of Property Obtained by Crime Over $5,000

The accused was held for a bail hearing and appeared before the Ontario Court of Justice in relation to these charges.

Members of the Collingwood and The Blue Mountains OPP remain committed to community safety through proactive traffic enforcement initiatives.
