Case #: 26-115585
Youth charged after minibike stunt driving, fleeing police

A 14-year-old male is facing several charges after performing stunts on a minibike and fleeing from police.

Shortly after 11 a.m. on October 14, 2026, members of the Windsor Police Service Traffic Enforcement Unit saw a young male riding a minibike westbound on Tecumseh Road East near Central Avenue. Officers observed the rider lifting the minibike’s front wheel off the road while driving, or “popping a wheelie.”

When officers attempted to conduct a traffic stop in the 1900 block of Bernard Road, the rider threw a pylon in front of the police cruiser and fled on foot. Following a brief foot pursuit, officers apprehended the youth without further incident.

An inspection found that the minibike was gasoline-powered and classified as a motorcycle under the Highway Traffic Act. The youth did not have the required operator’s licence, insurance policy, or vehicle permit.

The 14-year-old rider has been charged under the Highway Traffic Act with:
• Stunt driving
• Failure to stop for an emergency vehicle
• Driving a motor vehicle without a licence
• Operating a motor vehicle without insurance
• Driving a motor vehicle without a valid permit

The minibike was impounded for 14 days.

Compared to the same month last year, key highlights include:

• Crimes against people decreased by 8.6%, driven by reductions in reported robberies, sexual violations, and mischief and harassment incidents.

• Property crimes remained relatively consistent, increasing by 0.8%, driven by slight increases in thefts, frauds, and break-and-enters.

These statistics are based on reported incidents and help us identify trends and respond where needed.
