Steinbach RCMP have been receiving complaints about people gathering at a Main Street parking lot in Steinbach and disobeying Public Health Orders.

On Tuesday, June 2nd, RCMP officers visited the parking lot in question and observed multiple people gathering, not wearing masks, and disobeying the Public Health Order.

Police say a few people and cars left when police arrived, however, several remained gathering.

As the current restrictions do not allow outdoor gatherings of any kind, six people were given $1,216 fines for disobeying the Public Health Orders.

Steinbach RCMP remind residents that they will continue to enforce the Public Health Order and fines will be issued.
