A vehicle has been seized and a 35-year-old Slocan Park man has been issued a $368 ticket after police responded to a complaint of vehicles “completing burnouts and smoke shows” in a Castlegar parking lot.
Police say they were called Wednesday evening to the 2000 block of Columbia Avenue about “multiple” vehicles driving dangerously.
They spotted a blue Toyota leaving the parking lot, spinning its tires and causing smoke. The vehicle wasn’t able to maintain traction and the back end swung out.
Police stopped the car and ticketed the man behind the wheel for driving without due care. His vehicle was also impounded for a week.
In a news release, police said they spoke to organizers of the event, who don’t condone this behaviour by people who attend their events.
