BPS Tip Tuesday – May 11, 2021

On Wednesday, May 5, 2021, between 8:30 a.m.-  12:30 p.m., a motor vehicle believed to be a convertible yellow Ford Mustang lost control on Widgeon St. and left the roadway. The vehicle dangerously traveled up the front lawn of a Chalmers Dr. home causing damage to the front lawn. As the car backed up to flee the scene, it struck the stop sign on Chalmers Dr.

If you witnessed this fail to remain collision, or recognize the description of the involved motor vehicle, please email Constable Weatherhead at [email protected].

On May 1, 2021, at 10:30 p.m., Barrie Police responded to a traffic complaint in the area of the Holly Recreation Centre involving two noisy dirt bikes being operated without lights.

Upon arrival, the dirt bikes were seen travelling on Mapleton Ave. One of the bikes fled down Alsop Cres. and did not return, while the second dirt bike that was being operated by a helmet-less male drove past a responding Barrie Police cruiser. The questionable actions of the operator which followed included dangerous operation on an area sidewalk and filming himself while attempting to engage police as well as circling the parking lot of the Holly Recreation Centre.

It was apparent to police that the rider of this dirt bike, who was wearing a black toque and a grey/blue winter style park had no regard for his actions or anyone else in the immediate area.

Although the pictures provided are not of the greatest quality, police do believe this person lives locally and that someone may recognize where the person lives based upon the description of the dirt bike and the operator. If you can assist police with any information, please email Constable Mellish at [email protected].
