OPP Central Region Snow Vehicle, All-Terrain Vehicle, and Vessel Enforcement/Education (SAVE) Unit laid several charges last weekend following a dangerous operation complaint.
On Saturday, June 6th, at around 3:30 p.m., Grey Bruce OPP received information regarding three dirt bike operators driving recklessly in Proton Station within OPP West Region jurisdiction. A responding officer observed the individuals operating their vehicles in a dangerous manner, including failing to stop at stop signs and travelling at high speeds past pedestrians on local trail systems.
The riders subsequently entered OPP Central Region jurisdiction, prompting continued efforts by police to locate and address the safety concerns.
Central Region SAVE officers, who were conducting proactive enforcement in a nearby trail system in Mono, stopped the three operators for inspection. It was later determined the individuals were involved in the earlier incident in Proton Station.
As a result of the investigation, all three operators were charged with careless driving under the Highway Traffic Act by the responding Grey Bruce OPP officer.
This incident highlights the ongoing collaboration between OPP detachments and regions, working together to enhance public safety and promote responsible trail use.
