WOODLAND — The Port of Woodland has hired a private security firm to patrol its Austin Point property to stop illegal use by all-terrain vehicles.
Nelson Holmberg, port executive director, said signs have been posted for years indicating four-wheel-drive vehicles are not allowed.
“We’ve tried gates that have been locked overnight, but they’ve been stolen,” Holmberg said.
The security firm will warn offenders and give them a chance to leave. If the offenders do not leave, citations will be issued. The Woodland Police Department and Cowlitz County Sheriff’s Office have been alerted.
