South Simcoe Police

Two caught drinking in car

On Wednesday February 6, a police officer on general patrol observed a vehicle parked at Innisfil Beach Park.

Three men were sitting inside the vehicle. Further investigation revealed

that the three parties were drinking alcohol. One of the passengers

was out on charges and had conditions not to consume alcohol.

A 21-year-old Innisfil man was arrested and charged accordingly. He was held for bail court. The driver, a 20-year-old Brighton man, was charged with having open liquor in a motor vehicle.

Several roads closed by icy conditions

This weekend's snowstorms forced the closure of several area roads.

County Road 4 was closed between County Road 89 and Bradford for several hours Sunday evening, due to icy conditions. Yonge Street between the 8th Line of Bradford West Gwillimbury and 89 was also closed due to icy conditions. Both roads were expected to reopen after crews had an opportunity to salt.

Possession of a controlled substance

Police have charged a 50- year-old Richmond Hill man with possession of a controlled substance following a traffic stop on Yonge Street near Highway 89 on Feb. 8.

The man was stopped for a Highway Traffic Act offence.

When the officer approached the car, he observed the man trying to conceal an object inside the car. The object turned out to be a crack pipe. The officer also located a quantity of crack cocaine inside the vehicle.

The man was arrested and transported to the North Division station for processing. He was later released on a promise to appear.
