2021-244 – On January 20th 2021, a 100 Mile citizen reported that their backpack with a number of valuables in it had fallen out of their vehicle while travelling from a location along Cariboo Trail in 100 Mile House BC to their residence out near Canim Lake BC. The backpack contained a number of valuable items, including a wedding ring. Members completed patrols along the route while attending other complaints but did not locate the pack. The next day, a friend of the complainant found the backpack hanging from a telephone pole near the Canim Lake Store, with all the valuables still inside.

Such items, if located, can be brought to your local detachment for safekeeping as well. File is concluded.
