Kimberley RCMP Report

Names

We issue press releases regularly on crimes that are committed in the community and often after an arrest.  Comments posted below the news articles often ask why the name is not published. We are not allowed to name a subject until they have made a court appearance and entered a plea.  That can be right away but sometimes it’s not for months.  Once the subject is before the courts we are now limited in what we can release.  I would rather get the release out right away with the information and the results than wait and tell you who. Also most court information is available on line.  The court list is published for the day and the results are added at the end or the next day.  The problem is they only remain there for a short period of time so you have to know when the subject is appearing. Young offenders’ names are not allowed to be released at all.

Generator

In early January Kimberley RCMP stopped a vehicle for no insurance and found it contained stolen property. We have located and talked to the owner of most of it, but we have generator we can’t link to anyone.  If you had a yellow Champion generator stolen prior to Jan. 1, please contact the Kimberley RCMP.  You will need to be able to indentify it.
