OPP Remind Parents Of Curfew For Kids

Police are reminding families about the curfew provisions under the Child and Family Services Act.

Early Monday morning, just before 3am, police were called to the area of William St. and Rattenbury St. East in Clinton. A witness reported a group of three youngsters were ringing doorbells and banging on doors throughout the neighbourhood.

Officers made patrols of the area however they were unsuccessful in locating the youth.

Police say they see a rise in vandalism, mischief, loitering, trespassing, under-age drinking, thefts from motor vehicles and noise complaints through the summer months.

Under the Child & Family Services Act, a child less than 16 years of age cannot loiter in a public place between midnight and 6am. And youth can be apprehended by police without warrant and taken to their parent/caregiver.
