Police say officers caught a modified Honda Civic going 167 kilometres an hour in a 60 kilometres an hour zone on Mer Bleue Road near Innes Road Wednesday morning.

“These are exactly the kind of drivers our officers are looking for with Operation Overwatch.”

The driver of the vehicle, a 36-year-old man, was charged with stunt driving, which includes the vehicle impounded for seven days and a licence suspension for one week.
