For the past two nights Sudbury Police have received calls for service about youths playing chicken on the railway lines which run parallel to Howey Drive in the Minnow Lake area of the city.
This is a very dangerous practice which could result in death or serious injury. A train was forced into an emergency stop to avoid striking a youth this evening.
This is a Criminal Offence and Police would like to remind the public that the railway tracks and the area surrounding them are private property and being on the tracks for any reason is breaking the law.
