The Trail and Greater District RCMP Detachment responded to the several calls for service over the past week between April 20-24, 2022. Below are some of the highlights from those calls.

Robbery/Flight from Police
File # 2022-1600 (Salmo File # 2022-1787)

On April 21, 2022, Trail and Greater District, Salmo, and Castlegar RCMP officers teamed up to arrest a 35-year-old Castlegar man who allegedly robbed the Centex Gas Station in the 5000 block of Highway 3B, near Salmo, BC.

Just after 9:00 p.m., a Salmo RCMP officer responded to the robbery at the gas station after the man was accused of stealing items from the store while threatening to assault employees. The man fled in a stolen vehicle toward the Trail area. He and his stolen vehicle were located by Trail RCMP officers.

The suspect again fled back toward Salmo; however, ran out of gas on Highway 3B near Champion Lakes Road, in Fruitvale, BC. RCMP officers actively searching the area found the stranded man and arrested him without further incident.

The 35-year-old Castlegar man remains in custody and will make his first appearance in court via video conference before a Provincial Court Judge on April 26, 2022.

Trail and Salmo RCMP are recommending the following criminal charges to Crown Counsel:

Excessive Speed/Flight from Police
File # 2022-1608

On April 22, 2022, at 2:40 p.m. a Trail and Greater District officer was conducting a routine patrol when he observed a black 2018 Toyota Tundra allegedly travelling southbound at a speed of 153 km/h in a 70 km/h on Highway 22, in Trail, BC. The officer attempted to detain the truck that fled from the area while making a series of dangerous and risky driving decisions. The truck was located almost immediately parked outside a building in the 800 block of Rossland Avenue, in Trail, BC.

Trail RCMP officers attended the area and quickly located a 26-year-old Surrey man and a 27-year-old Castlegar woman near the parked truck. Officers placed both under arrest for Flight from Peace Officer contrary to Section 320.17 of the Criminal Code and taken into custody. Both parties were released from custody after a short investigation.

The 26-year-old Surrey man will be facing one count of Flight from Peace Officer contrary to Section 320.17 of the Criminal Code. He also received a $483 fine for Excessive Speed contrary to Section 148(1) of the BC Motor Vehicle Act and the truck was impounded for up to 7 days.
