WESTBROOK — Police will be cracking down on all-terrain vehicle riders using snowmobile trails in the city.
The Westbrook Police Department received a $4,500 grant from the state’s Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife to pay officers overtime to patrol the trails during the spring and summer.
Capt. Tom Roth said the state-sanctioned trails prohibit ATVs, which tear up the privately owned land.
The primary purpose of the special patrols will be for officers to issue summonses to ATV riders. Roth said police would also be looking out for underage drinking parties, drug cultivation and illegal dumping along the trails.
