Windsor Police seek information in a hit and run.

The Windsor Police Service, Amherstburg Detachment, is investigating a hit-and-run collision that occurred in Amherstburg on June 8, 2023.

At approximately 8:30 p.m., a male cyclist was struck by a truck while traveling in the 3600 block of Concession #3 North. The driver did not stop at the scene or render aid to the victim.

The cyclist sustained minor injuries.

The vehicle involved is believed to be a dark blue, newer, Dodge Ram 1500 series with black rims.

We urge anyone who was in the area at the time, or who may have a dash cam, or residential or business video that can assist with the investigation, to contact the Windsor Police Service Amherstburg detachment at 519-736-8559. They can also contact Windsor & Essex County Crime Stoppers anonymously at 519-258-8477 (TIPS) or online at www.catchcrooks.com

Case #: 23-40043
This pony was seen wandering Amherstburg last night.

It is currently safe at a local farm. Anyone with information on the owner or location of this pony's home is asked to please contact Windsor Police Service, Amherstburg Detachment at 519-736-8559.

Yesterday, an Amherstburg resident was stopped for stunt driving after being clocked driving nearly double the speed limit. The driver faces a hefty fine, 14-day vehicle impoundment, and a 30-day licence suspension.

After 33 years of service, Windsor Police Superintendent Tim Berthiaume is calling it a career.

Supt. Berthiaume got his start in law enforcement with the Amherstburg Police Service in 1989. He held a number of positions over the years before rising to the rank of Chief in Amherstburg in 2010. When the Windsor Police Service assumed policing duties for the town in 2019, we enthusiastically welcomed him to our team as a Superintendent.

“Tim’s passion for policing has never waned, nor has his leadership and service to Windsor and Amherstburg,” said Acting Police Chief Jason Bellaire. “His retirement is well deserved and well earned.”

Congratulations! We'll miss you!
