Two men have been charged after allegedly speeding down the streets of Regina in a dangerous fashion. One of the men is accused of travelling over 200 km/h. Regina police say the first incident occurred on Friday around 7:45 p.m. when officers saw a group of motorcycles travelling without license plates around Albert Street and Gordon Road. The officers then alerted Regina Police Service’s (RPS) Aerial Support Unit, which continued to follow the group from the sky, according to a Tuesday news release. The release said one of the motorcycles was seen driving 100 k/h past Candy Cane Park while the area was filled with families and others enjoying the area. The group was followed to Lakeshore Drive where officers conducted a traffic stop. Police say the motorcyclist who had been driving dangerously was identified and charged while the others were released. The 26-year-old man was charged with operating a conveyance dangerous to the public and breaching a conditional sentence order. RPS said the second incident that occurred on Saturday at 8:40 p.m. when officers in an unmarked police vehicle noted a motorcycle driving without a license plate near Parliament Avenue and Albert Street. According to the release, police attempted to pull the driver over near the Wascana Parkway exit near Ring Road, but the driver instead accelerated and exited onto Ring Road where the air unit saw him travelling “well over” 200 k/h and weaving in and out of traffic. After driving to the east end of the city, the driver made his way back south to Orchard Crescent and Dufferin Road before eventually leaving the city west on Highway 1, allegedly ignoring attempts to stop from emergency units along the way. Police say the aerial unit saw him return to the city a short time later. RPS said he was seen driving down walking paths as he made his way to a residence on Logan Crescent. Officers arrived at the address moments later and took him into custody, according to RPS. The 22-year-old driver has been charged with operating a conveyance dangerous to the public and with flight from a peace officer. He’s scheduled to appear in court on June 11, 2026.
