The OPP is investigating a report of impersonation of a police officer in Tay Township.
Police say just after 2pm Sunday, a woman was driving westbound on Highway 12 near the 400, when a black cargo van that had been following her for 15 minutes activated a flashing red and blue light bar and attempted to force her to stop by aggressively driving up close nearly colliding with her.
The complainant at this point called the OPP out of concern and the suspect vehicle turned southbound on Newton Road.
The suspect vehicle is described as:
- an older model black-coloured van
- with side sliding doors
- no rear windows
- no front license plate (only a license plate holder)
- front windshield is cracked from the drivers side to the middle of the windshield
- a red and blue light bar in the lower front windshield
The lone driver is described as being a man with a mostly covered face.
Any driver who is suspicious to a police vehicle attempting to stop them is asked to dial 911 when it can be safely done to assist in verifying that it is a police vehicle.
Anyone with further information about this incident is asked to contact the OPP at 1-888-310-1122, opp.southern.georgian.bay@opp.ca or by calling Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
