This past week, March 20 through March 26, Columbia Valley RCMP responded to 60 calls for service. The following is a summary of some of the files our officers responded to.

Break and enter check leads to arrests

On March 25^, Columbia Valley RCMP received a complaint regarding a possible beak and enter about to happen. Members attended the location and observed a male and female who were both arrested. The officers noted the door to the residence had footprints matching that of those arrested indicating they had in fact attempted to enter the residence. A search warrant was obtained for the suspect’s vehicle and located inside was stolen property along with suspected controlled substances, illicit narcotics. Both suspects were held in jail pending a hearing. The female was also arrested on other outstanding warrants.

Police investigating rash of thefts from vehicles

Over this past weekend, Columbia Valley RCMP received more than 10 complaints regarding thefts from vehicles. In some cases, the vehicle was damaged to gain access and in others the vehicles were left unlocked. The RCMP is remined people to lock their vehicle and remove any valuables from plain view. These investigations are still ongoing.

Be careful around the lakes

The Columbia Valley RCMP would also like to remind people to be very careful around the lakes. As everyone can see the ice is disappearing from the lake and ice thickness is unpredictable.  Please be cautious out there.
