Breach of conditions
Shortly after midnight on Sept. 12, 100 Mile RCMP were dispatched to a report of a youth drinking in the downtown area.
One youth was found with open liquor on Birch Avenue near the 100 Mile House Library. Queries determined the youth was on conditions to abstain from the consumption of liquor.

Suspicious fire
At 1 p.m. on Sept. 12, 100 Mile RCMP responded to a grass fire in Centennial Park.
100 Mile House Fire-Rescue responded and extinguished the small grass fire. Evidence was located at the scene which led officials to believe that the origin of the fire was suspicious in nature.
Two youth were located in the area and detained. After being interviewed, the two youth were released.
The investigation into this incident is continuing. No charges have been forwarded at this time.
Anyone having information about this incident is asked to call the 100 Mile House RCMP at 250-395-2456, or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

The female driver of a north-bound Toyota Corolla was attempting to turn left across the south-bound lane. This vehicle turned in front of the driver of a Ford Thunderbird who was unable to avoid the collision.
Both drivers were taken to 100 Mile District General Hospital by ambulance for treatment of minor injuries.
The south-bound lane was closed until the vehicles were removed by tow trucks. The investigation into this matter is continuing.
Lost control
Around 4:20 p.m. on Sept. 9, 100 Mile RCMP responded to a report of a motorcycle accident on Watch Lake Road near Green Lake Road.
The driver lost control of the motorcycle in a corner and was thrown from the bike. The male driver from the Lower Mainland suffered ankle injuries and was transported by ambulance to the 100 Mile District General Hospital.
