For the past two nights Sudbury Police have received calls about young people playing 'chicken' on train tracks that run parallel to Howey Drive in the Minnow Lake area.

Monday night a train was forced into an emergency stop to avoid striking a youth.

Police remind residents that this is a criminal offence and that the railway tracks and the area surrounding them are private property. Being on the tracks for any reason is breaking the law.
