On July 21, 2014 at ~ 12:45 Hours Oliver RCMP responded to a two vehicle collision between a grey Kia Sedona red Ford F150 at the intersection of Sumac Street and Road 5. Investigation showed that the Ford F150 was struck by the Kia Sedona and ended up in an orchard causing about $5,000 damage to the orchard.  Both vehicles were towed from the scene and neither driver received any injuries. Failing to yield to traffic when entering the Highway on the part of the driver of the Kia appears to be the cause of the collision.

During this past week the Oliver Detachment received a number of theft from vehicle complaints.  The circumstances surrounding these theft are similar in nature in that the vehicles were insecure and property was visible.  The RCMP continue to remind people to place their valuables out of sight or leave them at home.  Lock your vehicles and roll your windows up far enough so that a thief cannot put their hand inside your vehicle.

If you see crime happen call Crime Stoppers or your nearest detachment of the RCMP.
