Mailbox vandalism in the valley
There have been several complaints filed with Columbia Valley RCMP of vandalism or tampering with Canada Post mailboxes throughout the valley.
An example of this took place on July 15, at 9:29 p.m., when dispatch reported damage to residential Canada Post mailboxes on Columbia Lake Road in Fairmont Hot Springs.
The complainant, a local female resident, reported that at approximately 9:15 p.m., she found the mailboxes damaged. Police attended and found over 20 mailboxes that were pried open, Columbia Valley RCMP reported.
Police reported the damaged mailboxes to Canada Post.
Canada Post confirmed that every time a mailbox is tampered with they contact the registered owner of the mailbox. Canada Post then has to have the mailboxes repaired.
Police are asking anyone with any information on these incidents to contact them or Crimestoppers where they can remain anonymous.
