Geo News: Police Officers Start Project to Stop Street Racers and Stunt Drivers in Ontario

On Tuesday April 18th 2017 the Toronto Police Service, Halton Regional Police, York Regional Police and other law enforcement agencies from across Ontario started Project ERASE, or "Eliminate Racing Activity On Streets Everywhere." The project is a collaborative effort with the provincial government, and it aims to stop stunt driving and speed racing. There has been a major increase in stunt driving charges in Toronto this year. Over 110 charges laid so far this year. In 2016, around 200 charges were laid. One incident earlier this month involved a haul of luxury vehicles impounded for stunt driving on Highway 400. Officers funneled a dozen vehicles, which included a Lamborghini,
 a Porsche and a Rolls Royce to the nearby ONroute service center.

Police forces across Ontario, including Halton, Peel, Barrie, York Region, and Toronto, teamed up for Project ERASE.
