100 Mile RCMP respond to B&E, driving problems

100 Mile RCMP responded to 53 complaints and calls for service during the past.

B&Es solved

Around 2 a.m. on Nov. 9, the owner of a cottage in the 6300 block of Marguerite Road at Deka Lake had come up from the Lower Mainland and discovered break-and-enters to his cabin, a travel trailer and a neighbour's property.

He called police who responded from 100 Mile House. When the RCMP members entered one of the cabins, two male subjects were located inside sleeping. Both were arrested without incident.

In the subsequent investigation, property was recovered from a break-and-enter in Chilliwack and the two B&Es from Deka Lake.

Based on his criminal history, one of the suspects, a 20-year-old man from the Lower Mainland was held in custody to appear before a Judge in Williams Lake.

The other, a 22-year-old male resident of the Lower Mainland was released on a promise to appear for court in 100 Mile House on Dec. 4.

 

Speeding driver

On Nov. 9, 100 Mile Traffic Services observed a vehicle travelling south on Highway 97 near the 93 Mile Loop Road.

The vehicle appeared to be accelerating rapidly in adverse driving conditions and moving at greater speeds than the rest of the traffic flow. It was clocked on radar at 42 km/h over the posted speed limit.

When the driver from the 100 Mile House area was pulled over, it was discovered he was driving without insurance and contrary to the conditions of his class 7 driver's licence.

The vehicle was towed and impounded for seven days.

The driver was charged with excessive speed, no insurance and driving contrary to licence conditions.

 

 

In the ditch

On Nov. 9, 100 Mile RCMP responded to a single-vehicle collision on Easezee Drive in the 108 Mile Ranch.

The driver of a 1999 Chevrolet Malibu lost control of her vehicle on Easezee Drive near Smith Road. The vehicle went backwards into the ditch and rolled onto its roof.

She was treated at the scene by an ambulance crew as a precaution, but did not suffer any injuries.

Road conditions and driver error are believed to be factors in this collision. No charges are being contemplated at this time.
