On November 16, 2024, just after 8:00 p.m., an officer on patrol located a two-vehicle collision on Mayfield Road, near Kennedy Road. No injuries were sustained. During the investigation, grounds were formed that one of the drivers’ ability to operate a motor vehicle was impaired by alcohol and was subsequently arrested.

Harpreet MULTANI, 22, of Brampton, was charged with:



• Operation while impaired – alcohol

• Dangerous operation

• Novice driver – B.A.C. above zero

Shortly after on the same day, just before 9:00 p.m., officers responded to a traffic complaint on Innis Lake Road. The vehicle was located. The investigation led officers to arrest the driver.

Jennifer PERLOV, 43, of Caledon, was charged with:

• Operation while impaired – blood alcohol concentration (80 plus)

Both accused are scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Orangeville at a later date to answer to their charges. The driver’s licences were also suspended for 90 days, and the vehicles were impounded for seven.
