Six outstanding warrants were executed, seven vehicles were towed, and one Immediate Roadside Sanction Warning was issued.

The LPS says the goal of this initiative is to provide safer roads by targeting speeding, excessive vehicle noise, racing, stunting and other illegal behaviours in areas throughout the city where members of the public have reported concerns.

Mayor Magrath Drive and Sherring Industrial Park have been identified as problem areas as police have received hundreds of complains about loud vehicles and high-risk driving behaviours in recent years.

They say the public can help by continuing to report violations and chronic, high-risk driving by calling the LPS at 403-328-4444.
