A roadside breath test was administered which resulted in a fail. The driver was issued an IRP and his vehicle was impounded.

Impaired driver

On March 18, police received a report of harassment that occurred at a residence in 103 Mile House.

The suspect was stopped by police driving a vehicle on Highway 97. The male driver displayed symptoms of alcohol consumption. He provided a roadside breath test that resulted in a fail. The driver was detained for impaired driving and provided two breath samples that resulted in readings of .20 and .19, over twice the legal limit of .08.

He was issued a court appearance notice for impaired driving and driving over .08.

Hit-and-run

On March 17, RCMP received a call of a hit-and-run to a parked car that occurred the previous night at the South Cariboo Rec. Centre. A vehicle was observed hitting another vehicle and a female got out to look at the other vehicle and then drove away. The suspect vehicle is described as a beige four-door car.

Breach of court order

On March 16, police were called to a report of a male who was breaching court-ordered conditions of not going to a business at the Cariboo Mall. The male was later arrested and released by the courts.

Subsequently, on March 18, the male returned to another location in the Cariboo Mall and left the store without paying for items in his possession.

Police attended the male’s residence and were made aware that the same male had just broken into an area resident’s outbuilding and stole items.

The man was arrested for theft, break-and-enter.

The 40-year-old 100 Mile House man was detained in custody.
