Officers responded to a report of a vehicle that had collided with a power pole on Morrow Road. The driver remained at the scene and advised police they were uninjured. However, paramedics attended and assessed the driver as a precaution. Officers determined the collision was the result of distracted driving, and a Violation Ticket was issued. BC Hydro attended to make the power pole safe.

Police received a report of a boat and trailer that had been stolen in Deroche. The boat and trailer had been parked on the side of the road overnight and were discovered missing when the owner returned the following morning. At this time, the boat and trailer have not been recovered.

Officers received a report of damage to an EV charging station on Pioneer Avenue, resulting in several thousand dollars in repairs. Investigation revealed that a vehicle towing a trailer had turned near the charging station and struck it before leaving the area. It is unclear whether the driver was aware of the damage. Due to the quality of available video footage, no licence plate was obtained and the vehicle has not been identified.

Police received a report from a complainant in another city that their stolen vehicle was located on Morrow Road in Agassiz. Officers attended and located the vehicle. However, it was determined the individual in possession of the vehicle was permitted to have it, and the report stemmed from a misunderstanding. The vehicle was towed to a tow yard to allow the registered owner to retrieve it.

Several proactive impaired‑driving investigations were conducted by officers over the past week:

An officer conducting patrols on Lougheed Highway observed a vehicle fail to stop at two separate stop signs. During a roadside stop, the officer formed the belief the male driver was impaired. The driver refused to comply with roadside breath testing, and an Immediate Roadside Prohibition (IRP) was issued. The vehicle was impounded.

A vehicle was stopped in Agassiz and the driver was displaying signs of impairment. Roadside breath testing resulted in an IRP being issued, and the vehicle was impounded.

A vehicle was observed swerving on Lougheed Highway. Officers conducted a roadside stop, and the driver was exhibiting signs of impairment. Roadside breath testing resulted in an IRP, and the vehicle was also impounded.
