OPP are warning teens and their parents about a dangerous "game" being played across parts of Renfrew County.

Students from multiple schools in the area have been participating in an ongoing activity they describe as a "car rally". Parents are led to believe it is some type of fund-raising activity say police.

"In reality, the young participants, who range in age from 14-19, pay money to an organizer and perform a series of tasks as a competition," says Sergeant Cynthia Savard. "Some of these tasks are potentially dangerous, indecent and/or illegal. The tasks are recorded on video, and it should be noted that sharing videos such as these, involving young people, could potentially result in criminal charges."
