Prince George RCMP reminding young drivers to make safe choices behind the wheel
Police say recent interactions with young drivers have prompted a reminder about making safe choices behind the wheel including one incident where the occupants of a vehicle were shooting paintballs at pedestrians.
On Monday Aug. 1 shortly after 1 a.m. frontline police officers received a report of a vehicle driving around the area of Second Avenue and George Street, where the occupants were allegedly shooting paint balls at pedestrians.The six occupants of the vehicle, all who were between the ages of 17 and 20, were arrested by polie and the paintball guns were located inside the vehicle.Another separate incident occurred the next evening on Tuesday Aug. 2 at 1:30 am.
Police officers then located the unlicensed youth driver at his home later that evening and thankfully no one was seriously injured in the incident. “Prince George RCMP is urging young drivers to make safe choices when in a vehicle, either as the driver or the passenger. Driving should be regarded as a privilege, as it comes with many inherent risks,” states Cpl. Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.
