People hiking near an anti-pipeline protest camp on Burnaby Mountain are troubled about what they’ve noticed on the trails.

They say they’ve found a number of unsettling, anonymous signs and are warning others about trip wires and traps.

One of the signs found reads, “Enter at your own risk.” Another one warns, “Trip wire.”

Global News tried to contact RCMP about the signs, but has received no comment.

Some of the protesters at the site told Global News they known nothing about the signs or who might have put them up.

WATCH: More than two days after a court order went into effect allowing RCMP to remove anti-pipeline protesters on Burnaby Mountain, no arrests have been made and the protest camp is still there. But there’s a troubling development discovered by some locals. Rumina Daya has more on the story.

It’s been almost three days since a court order came into effect allowing police to remove the demonstrators from the area.

A lawyer for Kinder Morgan argued in court the activists have prevented field studies to build the Trans Mountain pipeline in the area, but demonstrators say they are exercising their right to free speech.

The protesters, who have been staked out on the mountain for two months, were given until 4 p.m. on Monday to take down their camp.

But the protesters are still there, and no arrests have been made so far.
