Soft landing

On Dec. 17, 100 Mile RCMP responded to a single-vehicle incident on Highway 97 at the 108 Mile Ranch.

Neither of the two passengers was injured. Weather conditions were a contributing factor to this collision.

 

Another break-in

On Dec. 17, 100 Mile RCMP responded to a report of a residential break-and-enter on Womack Road in Deka Lake.

The residence was entered between Dec. 16 and Dec. 17. The main door had been forced open. A computer, a television and jewelry were stolen from the residence.

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).

 

Considerate snow removal appreciated

When the snow returns, police are asking people to not plow their driveways into the roadway, as it causes traffic hazards and interferes with the road-clearing efforts.

 

Yuletide greetings

100 Mile House RCMP would like to wish everyone a safe and enjoyable holiday season.
