Police in northern Ontario are trying to identify a group of four people in a boat who drove dangerously close to a group of youths who were swimming in a lake near Blind River, Ont., this week.

The incident took place around 6 p.m. Aug. 14 on Lake Lauzon in the Township of the North Shore.
“A white boat came approximately 15-20 feet away from a group of youths swimming at the public beach,” the OPP said in a news release Friday.
“Concerned parents on the beach began yelling at the occupants of the boat and while doing so, the boat returned, began cursing at the people on shore and left in a reckless manner.”
