On Saturday at around 1:56 p.m., police stopped another vehicle travelling west on Highway 401 within the municipality. Authorities said the vehicle was travelling 58 km/h over the posted 100 km/h limit.
And on Sunday, a third vehicle was stopped in the eastbound lanes of the 401 at around 11:55 a.m., after it was clocked travelling at 171 km/h.
