Excessive speed
During the past week, 100 Mile General Duty and Cariboo Chilcotin Traffic Services members charged four people for excessive speed.
The speeds ranged from 49 to 64 km/h over the posted speed limit.
One of the people stopped for excessive speed was a resident of the 100 Mile House area and he also displayed symptoms of having consumed liquor and had open liquor in his vehicle.
An approved screening device was administered at the scene and the result was a fail. The male driver declined a second test.
He met the guidelines and was subsequently administered a 90-day immediate roadside driving prohibition (IRP). His vehicle was towed and impounded for 30 days.
In addition to the IRP, he also received a violation ticket for the above mentioned excessive speed, open liquor and failing to produce his driver’s licence.
Stolen property
On Oct. 18 around 1:30 p.m., a pickup truck was observed leaving the 100 Mile Ranch with property belonging to the ranch in the back of the truck. The vehicle was followed by the ranch [manager] south to Highway 24.
A break-in at the residence was confirmed and property was confirmed being stolen. A licence plate number and truck description were provided to police.
The ranch [manager] was able to use a plan to fly over Highway 24 and Highway 5 north of Kamloops. A similar vehicle was observed travelling south on Highway 5.
The plane operator was forced to turn back on the outskirts of Kamloops.
The information was relayed to Kamloops RCMP Detachment; however, they were unable to locate the vehicle.
The investigation into this break-and-enter is continuing.
