100 Mile RCMP House responded to 57 complaints and calls for service during the past week.
Theft from purse
On Jan 31, shortly before noon, a woman was walking westward in the tunnel under Highway 97 between Cariboo Mall and Peter Skene Ogden Secondary School.
She reported that she felt a tug on her purse and turned to see three teenage boys who took money from her purse, which was apparently visible, and ran back to the east towards the mall.
She was allegedly pushed down during this altercation. She walked up the hill to the 100 Mile House RCMP detachment to report the incident.
She saw the youth walking around the corner of the Cariboo Mall.
The three youth were described as wearing dark jeans, hoodies and one was wearing a dark jacket. One was described as having blond hair.
This description was broadcast to the five responding police cars. Several people were checked at various locations in 100 Mile House and enquiries were conducted with several businesses, but no one matching the description was located.
The amount of money taken was reported to be under $400. The woman did not suffer any serious injuries.
The investigation into this incident is continuing.
