100 Mile House RCMP responded to 102 calls for service during the past week.

Some highlights are as follows:

Jewellery heist

On May 6, at approximately 4:30 a.m. a business alarm report was received.

The owner attended and found the front door pried and broken open.

Officers arrived a short time later, cleared the business and did not find anyone in or near the premises.

Several thousands of dollars of jewellery was stolen.

This incident occurred around 4:30 a.m. and police are asking for anyone that may have seen anything suspicious or have details to call the 100 Mile House RCMP.

Alcohol-impaired

On May 6, RCMP received a report of a person in the drivers seat asleep in a running vehicle parked in front of a local pub.

Witnesses turned the vehicle off for public safety.

Officers attended and suspected the male occupant to be impaired by alcohol and made a roadside screening demand.

A breath sample was obtained and found to be a “Fail” meaning the driver had more than 100 mg per cent alcohol in his blood.
