Suspicious Incident Involving Black Dodge Charger with Blue and Red Emergency Lights

On the morning of March 10^th, 2022, we received a call regarding a Suspicious Incident that had occurred on MR 35 near Clarabelle Road in Greater Sudbury on March 9^th, 2022 at approximately 8:15 p.m.

The information provided from the woman was that she had been driving northbound on MR 35 near Clarabelle Rd when she passed a black Dodge Charger in the slow lane, and, once she got in front of it, it activated red and blue lights. The driver of the black Dodge Charger then conducted a traffic stop on the woman. The man approached her driver’s side window and asked for her driver’s licence, ownership and insurance. The man also asked her if she was single, where she was going that evening and what she was doing. The woman asked if she was getting a ticket, to which the man said no, so she proceeded to drive away.

As she was leaving the area, the man got back into his black Dodge Charger, did a U-turn and headed back in a southbound direction on MR 35.

The man that conducted the traffic stop is described as a white male, approximately 5’11’, in his late 30’s to 40’s, with dark eyes and a deep voice, wearing a black toque with a black mask, a black jacket and black pants. The man did not verbally identify himself as a Police Officer and did not indicate a reason for the traffic stop. The blue and red lights were described as being set in, or under, the grill of the vehicle.
