RCMP seeking community help to identify persons of interest

Trail RCMP are trying to track down a woman and her boyfriend after the discovery of a stolen truck on Hwy 3 near Rossland.

Police say a witness saw the woman standing alone with a brown dog in a Hwy pullout at about 10 a.m. on Fri May 23.

She told the witness her vehicle was stuck in a nearby trail and that she, her boyfriend and their dog were trying to get back to Castlegar, but refused a ride and a stolen truck was recovered by police in the area.

She is described as about 5’7″, in her 20’s with and average build, dark shoulder length hair with a red tinge.

Police say she was wearing a dirty, reflective jacket and grey hooded sweatshirt with a playboy bunny logo and had a nose ring.

Her boyfriend is described as about 5’9″, with tattoos on his neck and arms and was wearing a hat.

RCMP say another motorist in the same area reported an incident involving the couple.

“Trail RCMP would like to identify the woman and her boyfriend to determine if they have any knowledge of the recovered truck,” said Detachment Commander Mike Wicentowich.

They also want tips about a suspicious vehicle in Fruitvale.

RCMP say a group of youths were approached at about 10:30 p.m. Fri May 24 on Columbia Gardens Rd near Birch Ave.

According to police one youth fled after being asked to get in by two people in the vehicle.

Police searched the area extensively but were unable to find the blue-grey cross-over style vehicle.

Investigators want to hear from anyone who can identify the vehicle or the two people inside, or knows where it or they can be found.

“We would like the community to be aware of the incident and report on anything similarly suspicious,” stated Wicentowich.
