RCMP have seized a pellet gun from a man in Trail after receiving a complaint.
In a news release, police said they responded Friday afternoon to a report of man waving a weapon in the 100 block of Reservoir Road. They issued a warning to a 34-year-old city man, but it’s not known yet if he will face any criminal charges.
“Trail RCMP takes such matters very seriously,” Sgt. Mike Wicentowich said, adding that while sometimes charges aren’t straightforward, police can forward recommendations to Crown counsel for review.
Stolen car, berries, found downtown Trail
Last week we told you about a thief who allegedly stole some berries. This week, another left some berries behind.
Police say they responded to a report Friday afternoon that a vehicle stolen from Nelson was parked on Pine Avenue in Trail.
A witness had recovered the keys from a man nearby. The witness contacted the owner, who in turn called police.
An officer recovered the vehicle. When the owner arrived, he discovered his water bottle was missing, but the suspect had left behind a container of berries.
An officer told him it was probably better not to eat them.
“Trail crime sometimes comes with delicious snacks, as one of the owner’s friends quipped,” Wicentowich said. “Officers are currently investigating the local bear population as primary suspects.”
