A social media video, along with tips from the public, assisted police in identifying and ticketing a youth for excessive speed this week.
On the afternoon of January 15, 2024, police received a report and copy of a Snapchat video showing a youth operating a vehicle between 140-150 km/hr in an 80 km/hr zone in the area of Mary’s Harbour. A subsequent investigation led Mary’s Harbour RCMP to identifying the driver of the vehicle in the video. The youth driver was ticketed and a license suspension was issued.
