Traffic Offense
BYU officers were closing the parking lot of the Y-Trail when they observed juveniles on electric motorcycles on the trail. Contact was made with two individuals who stated they still had three friends on electric bikes on the trail. The officer instructed the individuals to call their friends and have them come to the parking lot. The group was educated on the laws regarding electric-powered motorbikes and their usage on the trail and campus. They were given a verbal warning before leaving the area.

Trespassing
Police officers responded to the Motion Picture Studio after two juvenile males were seen trespassing on the property and driving a golf cart belonging to the studio. Before the officers' arrival, a security officer from the studio contacted the juveniles and informed them that law enforcement was on the way. The males were observed running westbound toward the studio's storage facility and were believed to have climbed over the stone wall. When the police officers arrived, they searched the grounds of the Motion Picture Studio but were unable to locate the juveniles. This case will be referred to the Detective Division for further follow-up.
