Trail RCMP hoping to identify suspect allegedly involved in racist incident 

Trail RCMP are hoping to identify a man who allegedly yelled racial slurs at staff at a restaurant in the 700 block of Victoria Street on Saturday. 

Police say officers responded to reports of a man causing a disturbance in a drive-thru on July 12, just before 11 p.m. 

The man had become upset with the quality of his food and allegedly screamed into the intercom in the drive-thru lane of the restaurant. 

RCMP say he then approached the drive-thru window, banged on it with his fist, spat on the glass, and yelled racist slurs through the window at employees before driving away from the property. 

The man is described as Caucasian, 30 to 40 years old, and was wearing a hat.

He was driving a yellow, 2003 Chevrolet S10 truck with the B.C. licence plate XD5-227. 

The responding officer spoke with witnesses at the scene and collected video surveillance of the incident. 

The investigation is ongoing. 

If you know the identity of the driver, or the whereabouts of the truck, please contact the Trail Detachment at 250-364-2566 to speak with an investigator. 

“This kind of abusive behaviour toward people in the service industry is completely unacceptable and will not be tolerated. There are many ways to communicate and resolve a dispute without resorting to intimidation and violence,” says Sgt. Mike Wicentowich.
