6 Windsor-area men charged after renting vacation home in Oro-Medonte: OPP
Group facing charges under Reopening Ontario Act
A group of Windsor-area men have been charged after police say they rented a home near Barrie last week.
According to a media release on Friday, the OPP received information that a gathering taking place near Parkside Beach in Oro-Medonte was "believed to be in contravention of current provincial restrictions."
Officers went to the home and determined that it was a short-term rental booked through a popular service, OPP said.
Six men, all of whom live in the Windsor area, are facing charges under the Reopening Ontario Act.
Under the current provincial shutdown and stay-at-home order, which is in place until at least early June, gatherings between members of different households are prohibited, except in the case of a person who lives alone.
Under the act, the minimum fine for hosting a gathering is $10,000 and attendees can receive a $750 ticket.
