And in Boston Bar itself, helicopter parts of significant value were taken from a private property in Boston Bar. Additionally, cable was severed from an EVO charging station in Boston Bar, resulting in thousands of dollars in damage.

In other notable incidents this past week:

An RCMP member witnessed a vehicle driving eastbound through Laidlaw that had significant damage to the driver’s side of the vehicle. Police initiated a traffic stop and determined the woman driver was on her way to Mission but couldn’t explain why she was heading in the opposite direction. Cpl. Kiener says the woman was exhibiting signs of impairment and issued a 24 hour driving prohibition. The vehicle was impounded, and the driver will need to have a mechanical inspection of the vehicle completed to determine whether it is safe to operate on the roadway.

Police responded to a report from a concerned passerby regarding a man swinging a stick on Wallace Street. Officers located the man, who is well known to police. He was aggressive toward officers and intoxicated. The man was arrested and held in custody until sober to prevent further public disturbance.

Police received a report of a man discharging a firearm into the air while yelling at a neighbour in Boston Bar. The man left his residence but was arrested upon his return. The firearm was seized. Further investigation revealed the man was wanted on an outstanding warrant, and he was held for court. The investigation into the firearm‑related offences remains ongoing.
