Two of three criminal charges laid against a North Vancouver woman accused of sabotaging mountain biking trails have been dropped.
Tineke (Tina) Kraal, 64, now faces only one charge, of obstructing or interfering with District of North Vancouver trails in a way “likely to constitute mischief causing actual danger to life.”
Court documents allege those actions took place over a two-year period, from Jan. 5, 2013 to Jan. 4, 2015.
Kraal was arrested at 5 a.m. on Jan. 4 as she exited a trailhead.
Charges of setting a trap with intent to injure and mischief by obstructing use of property have been dropped.
Kraal’s lawyer appeared briefly at the North Vancouver provincial courthouse on her behalf on Wednesday.
Kraal’s next court date has been set for April 15.
RCMP allege the Upper Lynn Valley resident repeatedly laid branches, logs and sticks across steep sections of the Lower Skull and Quarry Court trails on Mount Fromme. Two mountain bikers placed hidden cameras in the trees, allegedly capturing Kraal’s actions on surveillance.
Kraal has not yet entered a plea to the charge.
