RCMP report

RCMP had a few notable incidents between Jan. 11 and Jan. 15 in Fort St. James.

  • Jan. 20, 2014 11:00 a.m.

Jan. 11 1:15 a.m., RCMP on patrol on Stuart Drive noticed a brown Dodge Cummins pickup approaching from behind.

The vehicle had lights mounted on an overhead rack which were turned on, which is a violation of the Motor Vehicle Act.

The truck was pulled over by the RCMP and when they spoke to the driver, he failed to produce a driver’s licence.

Upon looking up his information, RCMP discovered the driver was supposed to be issued a 90-day prohibition from driving, which the officers then did.

The driver, who was on a Class 7 licence, was also given notice he needs to correct some of the Motor Vehicle Act offences on his vehicle.

Jan. 12 at 3:07 p.m., RCMP attended Subway in response to a report an unknown male had attempted to steal the tips jar.

He had been unsuccessful, after staff had caught him in the act and the man had fled the store.

RCMP then reviewed video footage from the store and recognized the male suspect in the video.

The suspect was then located reportedly intoxicated in the area.

The suspect was lodged in RCMP cells until sober and was released without charges as the store manager did not want to pursue charges further in the case.

Jan. 14 at 8:03 a.m., a female called the RCMP to report a collision.

The driver reported she was travelling north on Highway 27 at Sandhu Road when a moose came out onto the road.

The vehicle struck the moose, causing extensive damage to her truck.

The woman was uninjured.
