100 Mile RCMP responded to 57 complaints and calls for service during the past two weeks. Some of the highlights are attached here.

 

Suspicious fire

On Feb. 1, 100 Mile House RCMP were called to a house fire on Messner Road in the Lone Butte area.

The house was determined to be vacant at the time. The cause of the fire is being treated as suspicious. 100 Mile RCMP and North District Regional General Investigation Section are continuing to investigate this matter.

Anyone having information about this house fire is asked to call the 100 Mile House RCMP at 250-395-2456 or call CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

 

Slippery roads

On Jan. 29, 100 Mile RCMP and rescue crews responded to three separate collisions in a short space of time on Highway 97 south of 100 Mile.

There were no serious injuries at any of these collisions.

Deteriorating weather and road conditions, as well as driver response to these road conditions were contributing factors in these collisions.
