An interesting day for OPP officers in Simcoe as they got the chance to pull over Gotham’s favourite vigilante– Batman.

Constable Ed Sanchuk says he had a good conversation with The Dark Knight.

“What a nice young man, Batman is! He was driving his ‘Batmobile’– and what an awesome car it is. It was very interesting to speak to this man, but more importantly– Batman was actually driving under 80 km/h in a posted 80 km/h zone for everyone’s safety. It looks like a pretty quick car, but he was driving sensibly.”

Sanchuk reminds us that officers will be out in full swing for the next few days as we head into the long weekend, and may even ‘join forces’ with the unlikely hero.

“We’re really looking forward to the Easter Weekend and we’re just making sure that everyone will be acting in a mature, and responsible manner. You will see an increased police presence on roadways throughout the course of the weekend– but more importantly, you may run into the ‘Batmobile’ yourself, so be very careful.”

Sanchuk adds that ‘Batman’ is actually a Brampton man, who was in the Simcoe area visiting an ill child.

“This gentleman was in Norfolk County today and was going to see a sick child and help bring a smile to their face. I just had to take that opportunity to stop him, and say thank you on behalf of all of us in Norfolk County.”
