The LaSalle Police Service has issued multiple charges and warnings to snowmobilers for trespassing.
On Saturday, Feb. 5, LaSalle police received a complaint of several snowmobiles travelling on farmland near Malden Road.
LaSalle Police Officers attended the area using patrol vehicles and a UTV (Utility Task Vehicle) and located the involved individuals.
As a result, police say a total of four Provincial Offence Notices and nine cautions were issued to the seven subjects.
Police remind the public:
- If you see a no trespassing sign, don't trespass. Certain areas do not require the posting of no trespassing signs and are automatically known in law as no trespassing such as farm fields.- It is your responsibility to operate your ATV, ORV or Snowmobile ONLY where you have permission or on lands that you own.- If you are confronted by a property owner and asked to leave, you must do so immediately.- Be considerate.- Just because you may have done so in past with no issues, does not mean that it is OK.
