Single vehicle collision

Police responded to an abandoned 911 call in relation to a single-vehicle motorcycle collision near Box Canyon on Highway 5. The lone rider was found on the roadway by passing motorists. Emergency services attended, and the man was airlifted to hospital with serious injuries, where he remains. No other vehicles are believed to have been involved, and the highway was shut down for several hours during the investigation. 

Trailer fire

Police attended a report of a fully engulfed camper trailer located approximately 2 km up Jones Lake Forest Service Road. The trailer was completely destroyed and debris from the trailer was scattered in the surrounding area. No identifying information was located to confirm ownership of the trailer. Initial observations suggest the trailer may have been abandoned and partially dismantled prior to the fire. Nobody was located in the area.

Stolen E-bike recovered

A woman contacted police with information relating to her previously stolen e-bike. She had observed a similar bike listed for sale on social media. She believed the bike was hers based on unique features. Police reviewed the photos of the listing and recognized the surrounding area as being an encampment in Chilliwack.  Officers attended the encampment and were able to confirm the bike belonged to the woman, recovering the e-bike and returning it to the owner. Individuals at the encampment were uncooperative in confirming how the bike ended up there.

Theft from unlocked vehicles

Multiple vehicles were reportedly targeted overnight on Edwards Drive. One complainant reported that their unlocked vehicle was entered and several items were stolen, including keys and personal accessories. No damage was reported and a canvas of the area did not locate the stolen items or evidence to identify the unknown suspects. 

A man reported that his vehicle, parked overnight at a business on Silverview Road, had been broken into. Video surveillance showed an individual arriving in the area on a bicycle and checking vehicle doors. The suspect accessed the vehicle, which was left unlocked, and took a large electronic from the vehicle before fleeing. 

These incidents serve as a reminder of the importance of ensuring vehicles are locked at all times, regardless of their location.

Man on side of highway

Police responded to a report of an unconscious man lying on the grass beside Highway 1 near Herrling Island. Officers located the individual, who was conscious and in good health, but stated he was tired and dehydrated. The man, from another Lower Mainland municipality, agreed to attend the hospital for a precautionary medical assessment.
