Sofa taking a hike on Schofield Highway

Trail and Greater District RCMP officers responded to a report of a couch blocking the Schofield Highway, in Warfield, on Friday, just after 4:30am.

The officer attended, located the wayward couch, and removed it from the roadway.

“Typically, most old couches are still in hibernation inside the basements of residences during the winter months. We usually don’t see them migrating across local highways into the surrounding forests until spring,” said Sgt. Mike Wicentowich.

To report illegal dumping, please contact the Trail Detachment at 250-364-2566 or the Report All Poachers and Polluters (RAPP) line at 1-877-952-7277.
