100 Mile House RCMP deal with theft, assaults and drinking driver

100 Mile RCMP responded to 69 complaints and calls for service during the past week.

Wheels stolen

On Jan. 30, 100 Mile House RCMP received a report of a theft from a vehicle parked in the Central G.M. parking lot.

Unknown culprits had jacked a Chevrolet Silverado, which was on the lot, up onto blocks and removed the tires and rims.

Later that day, Prince George RCMP responded to a suspicious individual in the Scott Road area of Prince George. A male suspect was detained for the

possession of these same tires and rims.

The stolen articles were seized and arrangements were made to return the property to Central G.M.

No charges have been laid yet and the name of the suspect has not been released. The investigation into this matter is continuing.

Escalating confrontation

Local police are investigating a series of events, which are believed to be related, that occurred on Dogwood Avenue in 100 Mile House in the early morning hours of Feb. 3.

The window of a pickup truck was smashed. Shortly afterwards, a cinder block was thrown through the front window of a nearby residence.

Two suspects were observed leaving the area. The owner of the residence allegedly forced his way into the two suspect's apartment where an altercation subsequently occurred.

During this altercation, one of the combatants was slashed with a knife. The male victim was treated for a non-life threatening knife wound to the face.

All three of the male suspects were arrested for various offences while the investigation was being conducted. No names are being released at this time.

All the combatants were known to each other and liquor is believed to be a factor. The investigation into this matter is continuing.

Impaired driving

On Feb. 2, 100 Mile House RCMP Traffic Services responded to a driving complaint on Highway 97 near the Highway 24 intersection.

A witness observed a blue Mazda being operated in an unsafe fashion. When the suspect vehicle was located, the female driver displayed symptoms of having consumed liquor.

An approved roadside screening device was administered at the road side, and the result was a fail. The driver initially requested a second test but then declined to continue.

The driver, a resident of Kamloops, was issued a 90-day Immediate Roadside Driving Prohibition and violation tickets for open liquor and driving without due care.

Her vehicle was towed and impounded for 30 days.
