Jack-knifed trailer
Clearwater RCMP responded to a report of a single vehicle collision on Highway 5 near Vavenby.

Vehicle break-ins
Clearwater RCMP were advised of possibly two vehicle break-ins during the last week. Both vehicles were unlocked and access was easily gained.
The first vehicle that was unlocked had a wallet left in it. All the cash was removed and the wallet was left behind in the vehicle.
The second vehicle may have been rummaged through but did not appear to be missing anything.
The best ways to prevent vehicle thefts are to remove any valuables from site and to keep your vehicle locked and alarmed if possible.
