On Feb. 21, at 3:08 p.m., Guelph police were conducting speed enforcement near the intersection of Gordon Street and Edinburgh Road South.
Police observed a teenage male driving a motor vehicle southbound on Gordon Street at a speed of 100 km/hr in a posted 50 km/hr zone while weaving between traffic.

The vehicle was ultimately never stopped as the pursuit was discontinued due to public safety concerns.
Police investigation revealed the identity of the male.
On Wednesday afternoon police located the male and his vehicle, and he was subsequently arrested.
A 17-year-old Kitchener male has been charged with:
