Via Miriam Trevis During the period July 14 – August 12, the Nootka Sound RCMP detachment responded to 87 calls for service. July 14 A Campbell River driver found that driving his 2001 Ford F150 at 120 kph in an 80 kph zone on Highway 28 east of Gold River can only result in one thing – a violation ticket for excessive speed and impoundment of the truck for seven days. July 15 A report was received that 3000 feet of yellow rope had been stolen from a residence in Tahsis. Anyone with information concerning this theft is asked to contact the RCMP. July 16 A report of a disturbance at 450 Maquinna Crescent was received. Police attended and found that a heated argument had broken out between a mother and son as a result of the theft of some alcohol. The parties were separated by police and no further incidents were reported. A 2008 Dodge Ram was clocked at 126 kph in an 80 kph zone, resulting in the Black Creek driver receiving a ticket for excessive speed and the loss of the vehicle for seven days.

July 20 The owner of a cabin at Queens Cove reported that it appeared that unauthorised persons had been using the cabin. A noise complaint was received from the Gold Crest Apartments. Police attended and spoke to the resident at the unit in question and he agreed to keep the music down. The volume of the music had already been lowered prior to police attendance. While dealing with the above issue, police observed a male staggering his way around the apartment buildings holding an open can of Old English beer in his hand. This party is well known to police and as a result of his high level of intoxication, and for his own safety, he was removed to the cells to sleep off his indulgences. July 21 A report was received at 3 a.m. that a group of young intoxicated adults was causing a disturbance on the walkway between Muchalat Drive and Chamiss Crescent.

July 22 Two 11 year old shop lifters were apprehended at Super Valu. They were caught attempting to smuggle Monster Energy drinks from the store without paying. Their parents were contacted and the matter was left in their hands. A disturbance was reported on Matchlee Drive. Police attended and spoke to the complainant who stated that a young male had attended at the residence and had kicked in the door. Evidently an ongoing dispute over a girl was the cause of the disturbance and the matter has been referred to the Restorative Justice Society. July 24 The owner of a wallet was extremely grateful that the person who found it handed it in to the detachment with all the cash inside still intact. The owner stated that the honesty of the person handing in the wallet was extremely appreciated.

July 25 It must have been a long walk home for the Busby, Alberta driver who was clocked at 144 kph in an 80 kph zone. The 2010 Mazda 3 was impounded for seven days and the driver given a ticket for excessive speed. July 26 A breach of the peace report was received from a residence at Tsaxana.

The safe, which was empty, has been seized by police and our investigation into this incident is ongoing. A single vehicle accident occurred on the Head Bay Road south of Tahsis when a driver lost control of the vehicle and hit the ditch, causing the vehicle to roll over.

Conservation authorities were notified and after traps had been set up, several bears were caught. June 25 During a bar check at the Royal Canadian Legion, police observed an individual standing outside, smoking a joint. He was asked to please put the cigarette out and was warned that there would be more dire consequences if he continued to smoke this illegal substance. An arguement and fight broke out during a heavy night of drinking and, as a result, police were called. Upon arrival, police were told that the combatants had settled down. To ensure no more problems occurred, police did remove some of the people from the residence but no charges were laid since it was determined that the fight was consensual. June 26 A break and enter occurred at the Gold Crest Apartments when culprits broke into the owner/manager’s apartment and stole keys to several other apartments. The manager was later informed that he could have the keys back at the cost of $5 per key. Police attended and were able to apprehend the culprits. Charges are now being considered. Over the weekend of June 25/26, police received several reports of stolen bicycles. Two bikes were found and turned into the detachment. The owner of one of the bikes has now been reunited but the other bike is still waiting to be claimed. If you have recently had a bike stolen, drop by the detachment and see if the description you give of your bike matches the one being held. One aluminum quad ramp has been handed into the detachment. If you can describe the pattern and colour and the area where you feel you may have lost this piece of equipment, please contact the detachment. June 28 Police attended at an apartment on Alder Crescent to serve a subpoena on a local male. When he answered the door, a strong smell of marijuana was evident. He was arrested for possession of a controlled substance and a large quanitity of marijuana, equipment and paraphenalia was seized. It was evident from the quantity of drugs that this individual was involved in the sale of the illegal substance. He has now been charged and the situation is being monitored. June 28 The theft of some fishing tackle was reported. Two rods and a tackle box had been taken from a boat in a driveway on Alder Crescent. If you hear of anyone selling cheap fishing tackle, please notify the RCMP. July 1 A report was received of an intoxicated driver travelling between Tsaxana and Gold River. The driver was located in Gold River and was given an immediate 90 day roadside suspension. An assault report was received at 1 a.m. when a female riding a motorised scooter home from the ball field came upon a group of people horsing around on the bridge. An incident occurred and charges are now pending. July 2 While on foot patrol at 1 a.m. at Marling Field, police detected a strong odour of marijuana coming from one particular camp site. Police observed a male smoking a joint and once he realised it was the police looking at him, he quickly extinguished it. Alongside the male was a tupperware container holding a small amount of marijuana and rolling papers. The individual was warned about his behaviour and the marijuana and rolling papers seized. While conducting a road check at second bridge, police stopped a driver and noted a strong smell of marijuana. The driver was arrested for possession and a small amount of marijuana was seized. The individual was given a 24 hour driving suspension. July 3 Police were called to a residence at Tsaxana where a family member was acting in a violent manner. Upon attendance, police were told that the individual had passed out and that no further trouble was anticipated. July 7 While conducting laser enforcement on Highway 28, 25 kilometers east of Gold River, police observed a vehicle travelling at 115 kph in an 80 kph zone. Police followed the car to pull the driver over and it was evident that the driver was attempting to outrun the police since a police car coming in the opposite direction clocked the 1990 Honda Prelude at 137 kph. The Prince George resident lost the vehicle for seven days and received an ticket for excessive speed. While fuelling up at the Payless station, a police officer was standing in line waiting to pay when he noticed a strong smell of stale liquor coming from the person standing ine line in front of him. The police officer recognised this individual from previous encounters so watched him as he left the store and then went to drive away in the vehicle. Police approached him and again were aware of the smell of stale liquor. The individual confirmed he had had “a few beers” and received a three day roadside suspension. The police officer returned to his place in line to pay for his gas when he noticed another individual entering the store, carrying an open can of beer. This party was charged with drinking in a public place and was removed to the cells to sober up. July 9 A report of a domestic dispute was received from a residence in Larch Place. Police arrested a female for breach of the peace and intoxication.

While attending to the domestic dispute, police noticed the smell of marijuana and found a Mom and Pop style marijuana grow op which was dismantled. July 10 An intoxicated male was causing problems again at Tsaxana. This is an ongoing problem with this individual who becomes aggressive towards family members after drinking alcohol. Police are working with Band to monitor this situation. July 12 Some more fishing gear was reported stolen from a boat parked on Dogwood Drive. Several items were taken and are now recorded in the police computer system. Residents are again advised not to leave valuables in their boats or cars. These are crimes of opportunity and although we like to think we live in a safe community, crime stats prove otherwise for this type of theft. July 13 A Campbell River resident found out that it was not a smart thing to do to drive at 126 kph in an 80 kph zone. The driver lost the 2010 White Dodge Ram for seven days and received a ticket for excessive speed. Email This Post
