Car tramples farm as people photograph windmills in Ontario; 4 charged [Video]

Four people face trespassing charges after a car drove onto an Ontario farm.

The incident happened at a farm in Melancthon, a town north of Orangeville, over the Easter long weekend, the OPP said.

A small car drove across the private agricultural land allegedly in an attempt to get a closer photo of the large windmills in the area, police said.

“Not only did they get the photo they wanted, but they also received charges for trespassing,” police said.

Four Barrie residents were charged with trespassing, police said.

The OPP warn that trespassing on private property whether for photography, off-roading, or other purposes is against the law.

“The OPP would like to remind everyone that fields and private land are not required to have fences or signage to deter people from entering,” the OPP said. “Unauthorized access is still considered trespassing, and criminal charges such as Mischief may apply if damage occurs.”
