100 Mile RCMP responded to 64 complaints and calls for service during the past week.
Suspect information
On March 19, 100 Mile House RCMP received a report of a man attempting to cash money orders at a postal outlet in 100 Mile House.
He was sent away each time because the information he was providing was suspect. When police were called, it was believed he had already left the 100 Mile area.
A search of the name provided showed a person with the same name was wanted for fraud in Vancouver. His description and the information were circulated to surrounding RCMP detachments, but he has not yet been located.
Driver ditched
On March 19, 100 Mile House RCMP responded to a report of a vehicle going off the road at the 108 Mile Heritage Site on Highway 97.
The driver of the vehicle had attempted to pass going up the hill, lost control and the vehicle went into the ditch. The driver was not injured, the vehicle was not damaged and it was towed out of the ditch.
The investigation into this collision is continuing.
Caught shoplifting
On March 20, two females were observed stealing property from Donex Pharmacy in 100 Mile House.
Both were detained by staff at the store while police responded to the call. They were arrested for theft under $5,000 and returned to the 100 Mile House RCMP Detachment where they were temporarily lodged in cells.
Both females were released on a promise to appear with a court date of June 10 in 100 Mile House provincial court.
Excessive speed
Cariboo-Chilcotin Traffic Services dealt with speeders during the past week.
Of note, there were three incidents of excessive speed on Highway 97. In each case, the operators were travelling 46 km/h over the posted speed limit.
All of the drivers were issued violation tickets for excessive speed and their vehicles were towed and impounded for seven days.
Two of the three drivers were from outside the 100 Mile House area.
