that is the job of the police - warranted Officers of DOC and this GAC have very limited powers on private land or public roads -the exceptions on private land is shooting of protected species under the Wildlife Act and little else - they do not have powers in respect to shooting up signs or ripping gates of - thats vandalism and its a police matter -
