Keremeos crime statistics for the second quarter of 2013 indicate a 16 per cent increase in calls to the RCMP. Break and enters doubled from three to six compared to the same period last year. Two of those break ins occurred to village restaurants on the nights of April 8 and
9. No suspects have yet been identified in those instances. The Citizens on Patrol program continued to be very active during the second quarter of 2013, conducting regular weekend patrols through the village. Six drug offenses were investigated during the quarter. A search warrant issued under the Excise Act revealed 6,000 cigarettes which were destined for illegal sale. Seventy-seven warnings, 25 tickets and 15 alcohol related motor vehicle offences were recorded during the quarter, with eight 90 day Immediate Roadside Suspensions,
one 30 day IRP and three three day IRPs. The Restorative Justice Program has not yet launched in Keremeos. A training opportunity for Keremeos community members is scheduled for October 18 - 20. Currently there are no chronic offenders in the Keremeos detachment area. The detachment did not receive any tips relating to events in Keremeos during the second quarter. The rash of incidents that took place in Keremeos last week will be reflected in statistics for the third quarter.
