Hamilton Police caught a 20-something man who they say was driving 74 km/h over the speed limit in a mixed residential and industrial neighbourhood in Hamilton's east end Saturday evening.

Hamilton Police Staff Sgt. Scott Balinson said an officer doing a mobile radar traffic speed check caught a man driving a Ford Mustang going 134 km/h in a 60 km/h posted zone, near Woodward Ave. and Brampton St.

The incident happened during daylight around 7:15 p.m. Saturday, when there were "lots of people around, children on bicycles," Balinson said.

"There are schools and parks and residences right there," Balinson said. "That is way offside."

The man, in his early 20s, was charged with stunt driving. The stunt driving charges carry an automatic seven-day licence suspension for the driver, and immediate impoundment of the vehicle involved.
