Red Deer RCMP are asking residents to remain vigilant after receiving reports of rocks being thrown at vehicles from the Taylor Pedestrian Bridge in Red Deer.
“In each of the months of August, July, and May we have received a least one report of individuals throwing rocks at vehicles driving under the bridge,” says Cpl. Troy Savinkoff, ”We understand that there are likely more cases that have not been reported.”
Throwing objects at moving vehicles presents serious safety risks to those operating a motor vehicle. Criminal charges against those throwing the rocks would start at criminal mischief and would become much more serious if a victim was injured.
Police ask that anyone who sees suspects throwing rocks to call the RCMP right away.
