On August 7, 2025, at approximately 00:38 hrs, Chatham-Kent Police Service officers observed a vehicle travelling at a high rate of speed equating to 130 km/h in a posted 50 km/h zone.
Officers attempted to catch up to the vehicle; however, it was several kilometres ahead. Due to the distance, assistance from other units within the area was requested.
A coordinated effort led to the successful stop of the vehicle. The driver, an 18-year-old female from Chatham, was charged with the following:
