On social media, they said: "North Wales Police received a report yesterday at 11am from a National Park Warden informing us of a vehicle which had moved the barriers and parked at Dol Idris car park, A487, Tal Y Llyn since 8.30am. The weather conditions yesterday were very poor and there was little visibility."
They added: "On the arrival of Dolgellau officers, four individuals were returning down from the mountain.
"They were from Salisbury, Manchester, Wokingham and Dudley. They had come to the area to get photo content of a brand of shoes, as they specifically wanted shots at Llyn Cau.
