An East Division officer of the Durham Regional Police Service (DRPS) yesterday snapped another speedster zipping away merrily.
“PC Beck is in the area of Old Scugog & the 3rd Concession. She just caught someone doing 115km in a 70 zone,” said a police tweet yesterday.
It is assumed the driver was not very merry after being caught.
