Cpl Jolene Garland says those responsible for such actions can face charges.
It’s a situation that could come with serious safety consequences and hefty charges. Last month, the Flight Service Station at the Deer Lake Regional Airport contacted the RCMP after a pilot reported a blue laser light had been intentionally pointed at the airplane upon descent. Cpl Jolene Garland says the pilot lost sight for a moment as the result of visual interference. She says those responsible for such actions can face charges. Police determined the laser had been operated from the RV Municipal Park by youth and are encouraging parents to speak to their kids about the dangers of using lasers.
