RCMP have arrested a woman in a break and enter at Crescent Valley.
They say an officer with the Slocan Lake detachment spotted a suspicious red Ford pickup south of Silverton on Sunday and tried to pull it over, but the driver didn’t stop.
Police believe the truck and its occupants were connected to a break and enter that morning in Crescent Valley. They didn’t say if anything was taken, but images from that incident were widely shared on social media. The following day, someone recognized the pickup and the driver and called police.
As a result, the vehicle and the driver were arrested in Nakusp. She was released with a court date while officers continue to investigate other incidents in the Slocan Valley that might be related. We’ve asked police if it was the same truck they think is tied to a fuel theft at the airport in Castlegar.
Anyone with info is asked to contact either the Nakusp or Slocan Lake detachments.
