Police seek suspects after two Niagara Falls parks damaged by off-road vehicles

Police are seeking a pair of off-road riders believed to have caused over $10,000 in damage to a pair of fields at two parks in Niagara Falls.

Niagara Regional Police (NRPS) allege the riders took to the public spaces on Oct. 31 near Sodom Road and Mann Street.

In a release on Tuesday, a city spokesperson characterized the riders as “vandals” who “willfully destroyed” a baseball diamond at Patrick Cummings Memorial Sports Complex.

“Evidence of off-road vehicle tracks from an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) and dirt bike now scar the playing field,” municipal works manager Marianne Tikky said.
