2020-3439 – On September 30th 2020 at 4:40 PM, a Cariboo Regional Traffic Services member was on patrol when he witnessed a driver with no seat belt. The local male drove to the Lakewood Inn, but then got out and went into the Beer and Wine Store – to check his lottery tickets. The driver then returned, but left without speaking with the officer. The attending member recognized the male driver from previous interactions. The Inn’s owner indicated they didn’t want the truck left in the lot, so a tow was called. Another person with keys arrived on scene, but permission to take the vehicle had not been established with the owner. The person then left. The male driver eventually returned to the vehicle and was served violation tickets and the truck towed to a friend’s residence at his request. No word on whether or not he won the lottery.
2020-3459 – On October 1st, 100 Mile House RCMP and Cariboo Regional Traffic Services on patrol along Horse Lake Road near 100 Mile House BC when they came across an accident involving one vehicle towing a detached boat trailer. The trailer had come loose in travel and slammed into the rear of the jeep. No one was injured. The owner of the jeep indicated they had just purchased the trailer. A no insurance ticket was served for the trailer’s lack of proper insurance. The owner was given direction on how to properly secure a tow hitch. 100 Mile House RCMP remind everyone to triple check their tow connections before leaving so as to not potentially cause a traffic accident such as this, or worse. This file is concluded.
2020-3472 – On October 2nd 2020 at 10:51 AM, 100 Mile House RCMP attended to a break and enter at the northern end of 100 Mile House BC within a ranch property. The owner reports a barn on this property had the locked doors pried open and there was still evidence at scene. While there was plenty of tools and other valuables inside the barn, nothing appeared taken. The owner reports his tenant had heard something outside around 3:00 AM and turned on security lighting, which may have scared the suspects off. Video surveillance is being added to the property as a deterrent. This file is concluded.
2020-3480 – On October 2nd 2020 at 5:16 PM, 100 Mile House RCMP received a report of a suspicious occurrence which had occurred the previous week near Fourth Street and Birch Avenue in 100 Mile House BC. The complainant reported their daughter and her friend had been walking along near the intersection when an older male, mid 30’s with a mustache and driving a small silver car, threw something out the window at the two girls which produced a loud bang – likely a cherry bomb firecracker. This occurred at around 3:15 PM on both days. There is no video surveillance in that area. Further information provided to Police also appeared to show a similar male in August 2020 approaching two girls in the Tim Hortons parking area and doing the same thing. Surveillance at Tim Hortons was viewed, but no further evidence was obtained. All the victims were disturbed by the incident. The investigation is ongoing pending further information.
