Mississauga man facing over a dozen charges after allegedly driving rental vehicle while impaired in 2023
A 29-year-old driver from Mississauga is facing over a dozen charges after allegedly operating a rental vehicle while impaired by drugs. Peel Regional Police say that on March 10, 2023 an officer attempted to stop a transport truck in Brampton for a traffic-related offence but the driver sped away. Police said he nearly collided into a pedestrian and ran multiple red lights as he sped off. Following an extensive investigation, police found the suspect in the incident at a local gas station on March 22, 2023. Officers said he was allegedly driving a rental vehicle while impaired by drugs at the time and breached multiple conditions of a release, including two driving prohibitions. The suspect, identified as 29-year-old Lovepreet Singh, is now facing charges for 19 offences, including possession of a controlled substance for methamphetamine and heroin, identity theft, four counts of operation while prohibited, two counts of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle and five counts of fail to comply with release order. The charges have not been tested in court. Before Peel Regional Police arrested Singh in March, 2023, he was facing charges in connection with a nearly 1,000-kilometre pursuit with other police agencies that ended in Etobicoke. Singh also allegedly obtained fraudulent driving documents and continued to drive the transport truck and other trailers in the Greater Toronto Area, and across Canada, though police did not specify where else. 'Due to the severity of these offences [and] his disregard for his conditions of release, and his history of fleeing from police, he was denied bail and held in custody,' Peel police said in Monday's news release, which was issued approximately a year after his arrest. Police are asking anyone with information on incidents like this to contact the Road Safety Services Safer Roads Team at 905-453-2121, ext. 3750 or Crime Stoppers anonymously.
