In Police Blotter

The Northumberland Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has charged an individual for driving while prohibited.

On March 6, 2025, at around 3:20 p.m., an officer was conducting speed enforcement on Concession Road 13 when they observed a pickup truck travelling at 87 Km/h in a posted 50 Km/h limit. Police were then alerted by the in-car Automated Licence Plate Recognition (ALPR) regarding a suspended driver.

OPP then spoke to the motorist and confirmed them to be prohibited from driving.

As a result, Kenneth MACKAY (age 63) from Hastings, has been charged with:

– Speeding

– Operate a motor vehicle without insurance

– Operation while prohibited.

The vehicle was impounded for 180 days and the accused is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Cobourg at a future date.
