A Toronto man who was prohibited from showing up at car meets and rallies — and any locations where stunt driving may occur — faces multiple charges after a police investigation into street racing and dangerous driving in Mississauga.

Peel Regional Police said officers with the force’s Safer Roads Team led the investigation and subsequently made the recent arrest.

In the early morning hours of Oct. 4, at around 2 a.m., officers spotted a vehicle that was engaged in a street race with other cars in the area of Meadowpine Boulevard and Meadowvale Boulevard in the northwest part of the city.

“The vehicle was travelling at a high rate of speed and in close proximity to pedestrians, creating a significant risk to public safety,” Peel police said on Tuesday.

Investigators identified a suspect and arrested a man on Oct. 15.

Anthony Fuellos Knox, 21, of Toronto, is charged with:

Dangerous Operation
Fail to Comply with Undertaking
Race a Motor Vehicle
Drive Motor Vehicle, Perform Stunt

The accused was released on an undertaking and is scheduled to appear in Ontario Court of Justice in Brampton at a later date, police said.

Safer Roads Team officers seized the involved vehicle and suspended the accused’s driver’s licence for 30 days.

At the time of the incident, Knox was bound by a court-imposed undertaking stemming from previous dangerous driving and street racing allegations, police said. The undertaking included a condition prohibiting attendance at car meets, rallies or other locations where stunt driving may occur.

Peel Regional Police said they remain “committed to addressing dangerous driving behaviours that place motorists, pedestrians and members of the community at risk. Street racing and stunt driving pose significant public safety concerns and can result in criminal charges, licence suspensions, vehicle impoundments and other enforcement measures.”

Anyone with information regarding dangerous driving or street racing activity is encouraged to contact Peel Regional Police.

Members of the public are also urged to report dangerous driving behaviours by filing an online report via Road Watch or, if the dangerous driving poses an immediate threat to public safety, calling 911.
