A youth has been charged under the Snowmobile and All-Terrain Vehicle Act for operating a dirt bike on the Conception Bay South T'Railway walking system.

A Conception Bay South youth driving a dirt bike on the T'Railway ended up being charged after a number of complaints from the public.

The town's enforcement unit passed on the public's tips to the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary who then launched an investigation.

He is facing four charges of operating outside an approved area, as well as one charge for operating without due care.
