It is around this time of the year that some of our thieves get active for Christmas. While doing any shopping in town, it is best that you lock up your valuables in the trunk so they are not visible by people just looking into the car. • The RCMP is receiving reports of thefts and suspicious persons and vehicles possibly casing out houses during the day in the Brisco and Spillamacheen areas. If you see anyone in the Brisco area who does not belong, be observant in describing the persons and the vehicles to RCMP. If in the Spillimacheen area, contact the Golden Detachment. • December 10th: At 8 p.m., RCMP attended a complaint of break-and-enter at a seasonal cabin on Ashton Road in Spur Valley. A door was broken into and a number of small items such as movies were stolen. Nothing else was reported stolen.
• December 11th: At 1:30 p.m., RCMP received a complaint of theft of a 14-foot Princecraft aluminum boat from the 1800 block of 13th Avenue. This theft happened between October 1st and November 1st. • An adult male living in the Golden area but who had previously resided in the Invermere area was checked by the police in Golden. The male provided a false name and gave the name of a person who resides in the Invermere area. The male was released, but Golden RCMP contacted Columbia Valley RCMP for help. His true identity was determined and the adult male and one adult female were charged with obstruction. • December 12th: At 4:35 a.m., Panorama Security attempted to assist a 24-year-old intoxicated male by trying to locate where the male was living while up at the hill. After over an hour of attempting to assist the intoxicated male, he was provided a bed-andbreakfast, minus the breakfast, at the local detachment. He slept the night off and later located his residence.
Marko’s gift ideas for new drivers Submitted by Staff Sergeant Marko Shehovac Columbia Valley RCMP Detachment This tip goes to all motorists, but as parents with a son who recently obtained his own vehicle, we wanted to ensure that if something goes wrong on the road or the highway where he is far from help, that he is well-equipped to handle an emergency. It’s not what he really wanted for Christmas, but it made his mother and me a little more comfortable. Here are some ideas for the vehicle: • Easy-to-use hydraulic jack (it’s a little more expensive but fast and easy to get them off the side of the road). Cut up some short two-by-fours that may come in handy. • Safety triangles or beacon lights
• Emergency sign (call police, or 911) • Tool kit • Flashlight • Jumper cables or self-charger • Shovel • Bags of sand for weight • Safety vest • First-aid kit • Gloves • Hand warmer, foot warmers, candles • Emergency pack with extra clothes, blankets, water and munchies The most important thing to remember is to leave enough room in the trunk, so should he/she wish to run away and elope, there is still sufficient room to accomplish this task.
Quality antique furniture and collectibles from Canada, Europe and Asia. Architectural items for home and garden. Open Wednesday to Saturday, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. Sunday 11 a.m. – 4 p.m.
