Despite rumours about their purpose, Sunshine Coast RCMP said youth is responsible for rocks placed on the road in the Porpoise Bay Area.
RCMP received a report of rocks on the roadway of the 6500-block of Sechelt Inlet Road on November 7 just after 9:00 p.m., along with individuals running into nearby bushes.
Police conducted foot patrols and were unable to locate anyone at the time, but a follow-up investigation confirmed it was a group of youth responsible.
S/Sgt. Jennifer Prunty with the Sunshine Coast RCMP said they were aware however of posts suggesting the rocks were placed as part of a sex-trafficking tactic.
“Posts like this create unnecessary fear and we want to assure the public that there is no evidence to support this speculation.”
The youth took responsibility for their actions; their guardians have been engaged, and no charges are being recommended.
Residents with concerns are reminded to contact the RCMP directly, so accurate information can be provided.
