A teenager from Grunthal was clocked travelling well over twice the speed limit on Sunday in Steinbach.

Steinbach Detachment General Duty members charged a 17-year-old male with speeding when his 2012 Ford Fusion was observed travelling 124 km/h in a 50 km/h zone on Main Street.

The youth received a $1,019 fine and a Serious Offence Notice, which includes a license review.

In total, from May 20th to 24th, there were 13 tickets issued for speeding and other offences on Main Street.

In September of last year, Steinbach City Council made a commitment to hire an additional RCMP officer in 2022, dedicated exclusively to traffic enforcement. That officer began patrolling Steinbach earlier this month.
