Early January saw Salmon Arm RCMP responding to two incidents where pickup trucks reported stolen were found soon after.

At 10 a.m. on Jan. 1, a person reported their white Dodge pickup had been stolen from their Salmon Arm residence. In a Jan. 22 media release, Const. Andrew Hodges noted the key had been left inside the vehicle.

91ƵA few minutes later, the man reported he had located his truck about 3 minutes down the road, no one inside and no one around,91Ƶ said Hodges, adding the vehicle was recovered and 91Ƶwas not suitable for further investigation.91Ƶ

On Jan. 8, RCMP received a report from a man who said his white GMC Sierra had been stolen in Sunnybrae. At the same time, said Hodges, police received a second report about two people with face coverings walking away from a GMC Sierra.

Officers responded and spoke with the two suspects, one of which was the initial complainant who had reported his truck stolen, said Hodges.

91ƵThe two suspects both appeared to be intoxicated, and could not explain when or where he was last with his GMC truck,91Ƶ said Hodges. 91ƵDrug paraphernalia was located inside the truck, which was burnt out. The initial complainant and owner of the truck, later admitted to setting his truck on fire, but was evasive as to why.91Ƶ
