100 Mile House RCMP on the look out for stolen trucks

100 Mile House RCMP are looking for a truck used in a break and enter.

Sergeant Brian Lamb says police received a report of a break and enter of a commercial property on Corners Frontage Road on January 21.

He says a man was seen on the property on January 15, via surveillance footage.

“A male driving a blue Ford F350 with BC license plate PX2894 attended the property and broke into a storage container, taking food items,” Lamb said. “The vehicle used in the offence was reported stolen from Kamloops on January 14.”

Police also noted the stolen Ford was a company vehicle that had had its decals removed.

A South Cariboo resident was also greeted with an unwelcome surprise on Monday, January 26.

Lamb says the RCMP were called to a residence on Elefson Road, where a truck was stolen while it was idling and warming up in the driveway.

“A male suspect who took the vehicle is described as 6’0 to 6’2, slender, wearing a two-tone hooded sweater with lighter color on top and dark on the bottom,” Lamb said.

He asks the public to also be on the lookout for a grey 2005 Chevrolet Silverado with BC License plate WL2214. The truck had an aluminium toolbox in the back, and it has not yet been recovered.

Police ask anyone with information on the crimes or has seen the trucks to call the 100 Mile House Detachment on their non-emergency line, at 1-250-395-2456.
