Las Cruces Codes Enforcement is asking for your help locating shopping carts that may have been abandoned or are still being used off-premises in light of the City’s new ordinance now being enforced, the Las Cruces Police Department (LCPD) announced in a news release.
The new Shopping Cart Ordinance, which was adopted by the City Council in August, makes it unlawful to remove from the premises, possess, abandon or alter a shopping cart that belongs to a retail establishment, according to LCPD.
LCPD said violation of the ordinance is a “petty misdemeanor under the Las Cruces Municipal Code.”
