3 speed enforcement cameras throughout Niagara Region cut down, yet again
After being cut down in April, three speed enforcement cameras throughout the Niagara Region have been vandalized once again.
It appears someone cut the cameras earlier this week using a power tool.
One of the cameras was near Smithville Christian High School on Townline Road.
The other slumped over speed trap is by John Calvin school on Station Street.
A third one was taken out in Welland on Rice Road, between Quaker Road and Woodlawn Road.
It likely wouldn’t have taken long, but it would have been fairly loud.
The last time this happened in Vineland, neighbours said they could hear the metal being cut and could see sparks flying.

“Living here, we are used to mailboxes on the country roads destroyed and the occasional street signs being removed, but the destruction of the speed traps again is ridiculous,” a resident told CHCH News.
A spokesperson from the Niagara Region says its aware of the vandalism, and it has notified the vendor who is contracted to make the necessary repairs.
“Managing damage from vandalism to the automated speed enforcement equipment is the responsibility of the vendor and related costs are included as part of the contract the Region has with the vendor. Niagara Region is considering a variety of options to address vandalism,” Janet Rose told CHCH News.
