POLICE are urging motorists to be cautious following a number of incidents in which cling film has been stretched across main roads.

Half a dozen such incidents have been reported over the past few months.

Sergeant Stuart Ogier said the film, erected during the night, was a hazard to road users.

‘These incidents have not yet resulted in any accidents or injuries; however this is potentially very dangerous,’ he said.

Most recently, last weekend, cling film was stretched across the road in front of La Houguette School.

‘It was wrapped around lamp posts on either side of the road several times so it was three to four feet high in total,’ said Sgt Ogier.

He said those responsible should consider the consequences of their actions.

‘If an accident was to occur and serious injury was caused, this could result in their prosecution,’ he said.

Such incidents have been reported at Les Effards, outside Forest School and at Cobo.
