By Trail Champion
On Friday, May 23, 2025, at 4:30 p.m. a frontline Trail and Greater District RCMP officer was patrolling in an unmarked police vehicle when he spotted a truck and trailer struggling to maintain its speed and lane on Victoria Street, in Trail, according to RCMP Sgt. Mike Wicentowich. The officer detained the driver, truck and trailer roadside.
“The officer discovered that the 50-year-old Kelowna man driving the vehicle was allegedly prohibited from driving a motor vehicle in British Columbia,” he said. The officer also discovered that the trailer attached to the truck had been reported stolen. The officer arrested the man for Drive while Prohibited contrary to Section 95 of the BC Motor Vehicle Act. He was later released pending attendance to a future court date.
The truck was impounded for up to 7 days. The trailer and a small amount of a substance believed to be drugs were seized.
The investigation into the stolen trailer continues.
Trail RCMP, in partnership with BC Highway Patrol, will continue to patrol our roads and highways this summer in an effort to make them safer for everyone,
says Wicentowich.
