Stolen vehicle recovered

On April 17 at 5:20 p.m., Summerland RCMP members patrolling at Sunoka Beach noticed a vehicle which appeared out of place.

The vehicle had B.C. plates and appeared to be registered out of Revelstoke, but the plates did not match the vehicle.

The truck had been stolen from Calgary earlier.

A 47-year-old East Coast man was arrested for possession of stolen property and was held in custody. He appeared in court in Penticton on Tuesday morning.

Theft attempted

On April 14 Summerland RCMP members were called to the gravel pit on Bathville Road following the attempted theft of copper.

Electrical wires were cut, but nothing was taken.

Police believe the thieves were scared off before they could remove the wire.

A Summerland motorist was issued a driving prohibition following a single vehicle accident on April 18.

The accident occurred at 2 p.m. on Dale Meadows Road. Alcohol and speed were both factors.

There were no injuries.

Vehicles damaged

Police were called following a two-vehicle accident on April 17 at 10:30 a.m.

The accident, at Prairie Valley Road and Barr Street, was caused when a motorist backed out of a driveway without looking.

There was minor damage to the vehicle, but there were no injuries, police say.
