LETHBRIDGE, AB – The Lethbridge Police Service (LPS) issued 27 traffic tickets over the weekend.

The tickets are part of a targeted traffic enforcement project by LPS that is taking place over the summer.

Police also gave out 10 warnings, mostly for speeding, stunting and equipment violations. In addition, police towed three vehicle and seized one under provisions of the Traffic Safety Act.

The initiative aims to make roads in the area safer by targeting speeding, excessive vehicle noise, racing and other illegal behaviours in areas throughout the city where members of the public have reported concerns. LPS held similar initiatives in 2022 and 2023.

LPS has received hundreds of complaints in the area of Mayor Magrath Drive and the Sherring Industrial Park since 2021. Police say while the incidents are not exclusive to the area, a vast majority take place there.
