Illegal parkers warned

Police are planning to crack down on people parking in bus stops and warn that offenders will be ticketed.

A Police spokesman said officers have noticed a growing number of private cars, private transit vans, Government service vehicles, vendors and their patrons parking in bus stops.

The spokesman said the practice is unsafe as it puts the lives of people riding the bus at risk and causes major congestion on the roads.

"The Police Service will be ever vigilant and offending vehicles will be ticketed," the spokesman said.
