Two bikers took it upon themselves last December to purchase, install and monitor security cameras in the hopes of catching someone who was intentionally setting up barricades on the trails.
Tineke Kraal was arrested Jan. 4, 2015, after allegedly being caught on camera laying the hazards across one of the trails in January. She pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of mischief and will be sentenced in four months.
Fortunately no one was seriously hurt or injured in these incidents.
