Driver ticketed after truck with missing wheel blocks lane on Agassiz-Rosedale Bridge

Regardless, the owner received several violation tickets, such as no insurance, failing to ensure a vehicle is in safe operating condition, and displaying incorrect licence plates.

Mounties also tackled 15 property crimes during that period, including a number of stolen property calls.

One early morning at Ruby Creek Forest Service Road, RCMP responded to a report of an explosion, where witnesses said a car ran away immediately after.

Police then found a fully burning vehicle that had not been stolen at the time, but the owner reported it as such from another Lower Mainland jurisdiction shortly after.

Fire crews extinguished the blaze, and the vehicle was towed while the investigation continued.

Officers also received reports of items stolen from a parked car on Fooks Road and from a parked travel trailer at a Popkum parking lot.

The following day, thieves stole the trailer and towed it away from the area in an SUV.

It was then recovered less than a week later in Agassiz, though with more items missing from inside.

An ATV and several tools were also reported stolen from a construction site by Lougheed Highway, but the owner found them “a short time later” with minor damage.

Traffic enforcement was the detachment’s primary focus during the two weeks, with speeding and impaired drivers having their vehicles impounded as a result.
