A pair of siblings have been charged with a bylaw offence after they had to be rescued from the Scarborough Bluffs, all for the sake of a selfie.
Emergency crews were called to the bluffs around 7:30 p.m. Sunday after the brother and sister in their 20s became stranded. Firefighters had to perform a rope rescue.
Toronto Police say ignoring the warning signs and venturing out onto the bluffs is dangerous and a waste of resources.
