Despite this, the vehicle continued maneuvering, resulting in a collision that damaged a second police vehicle. Officers safely arrested the driver, who was issued multiple violation tickets and is scheduled to appear in court at a later date.

Disturbance at Construction Site               

Police received a report from a construction worker about a man attempting to fight workers on Coquihalla Street. The man had allegedly been throwing dirt onto the roadway while workers were cleaning up for the day, as he was upset about the mess. Officers attended and spoke with the individual, who was exhibiting signs of intoxication. After a brief interaction, the man chose to leave the area voluntarily and did not return. No injuries were reported.

Stolen vehicle located

Boston Bar officers were advised of a suspicious vehicle parked on a homeowner’s property. Investigation revealed the vehicle had been stolen from the Lower Mainland two days earlier and had been stripped of much of its interior. The vehicle is being returned to its registered owner. The investigation is ongoing to determine how it came to be in Boston Bar.

Stolen wallet 

Police received a report of a wallet stolen from a vehicle parked on Raab Street. The victim advised that credit cards from the wallet had been used for purchases at several stores in the Hope area. Police continue to investigate and work toward identifying the suspects.

Drug seizure

Officers observed a woman outside the Hope Detachment who was not dressed appropriately for the weather and appeared to be seeking shelter. She exhibited signs of intoxication, prompting concern for her well-being. While assisting her, officers observed suspected fentanyl in her possession. Further investigation uncovered a larger quantity of suspected fentanyl, leading to her arrest and seizure of the substances for further analysis.
