OPP break up illegal car rally in Goderich

Huron County OPP say they responded to unauthorized modified car and truck rally event in Goderich on Saturday night.

According to police, drivers involved performed burnouts and drove dangerously while spectators climbed light posts and launched fireworks. When officers arrived around 9 p.m., most of the approximately 50 participants in the event dispersed.

The OPP laid stunt driving charges in connection with the event, though they didn’t specify how many.

"Huron County OPP and the Town of Goderich will continue to actively monitor the situation throughout the weekend," read a release from police. "Unsanctioned car rally participants can expect a heightened police presence in Goderich. Individuals acting unlawfully may be charged and their vehicle may be towed."

The Town of Goderich put vehicle restrictions in place last fall to respond to reports of possible illegal rallies being held in the area.

OPP ask if you see anything suspicious, to contact them at 1-888-310-1122. If you wish to remain anonymous, contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
