A teenager and his parent have been charged following illegal ATV activity in Paradise.

On Wednesday, the RNC conducted a covert enforcement operation in the town with the help of municipal enforcement.

Just after 12 p.m., officers noticed illegal operation in the area of McNamara Drive.

Officers, dressed in plain clothes, were able to detain the 15-year-old boy who was driving. The quad was seized.

He has been charged with operating an off-road vehicle on a highway without a license, and operating an unregistered vehicle.

As well, the boy’s parent has been charged with allowing unsupervised operation, and allowing operation of an uninsured vehicle.
