Vanderhoof’s local RCMP detachment lodged 86 files, which included 12 prisoners, in the past week.
Braeside crash
A vehicle was retained for investigation after losing control on Highway 27 on Aug. 28.
At 11:45 a.m., the southbound car rolled off the highway at two kilometres north of Braeside Road, leaving behind drug-related paraphernalia along its path.
The driver said she was avoiding deer when the incident happened. She was taken to the hospital for a broken arm injury.
Acquiring judicial authorization, the RCMP seized the vehicle and is continuing the investigation.
No other information is available by press time.
Finders not keepers
A wallet with $40 of cash found by the Silvermill Apartments was turned into the police on Sept. 1.
It has since been returned to its owner.
Motor theft
A four-stroke Johnson boat motor with 25 horse-power was stolen from a residence on Poplar Avenue overnight on Aug. 31. The motor is estimated to worth $3,500.
Those with information can contact the local RCMP detachment or report anonymously through CrimeStoppers.
