Police Kept Hopping this Weekend

Sunday, July 29, 2007 03:57 AM

It has been a busy weekend so far for Prince George RCMP.

Friday night they were called to a single vehicle quad crash near Croft Road. The quad had hit a patch of gravel and flipped, a second quad rider pulled the vehicle off the driver who was wearing a helmet but was shaken up and in shock. He was taken to hospital to be checked out.

A vehicle was traveling eastbound bound on Highway 16 near PGARA when a deer jumped out on to the highway. The driver hit the brakes but failed to miss the animal. The vehicle behind slammed into the back end of the vehicle which had hit the deer. Drivers of both vehicles were taken to hospital although their injuries were minor. The vehicles had to be towed from the scene as both had received extensive damage.

Video surveillance caught an image of a thief ripping off a stack of lottery tickets from a business on 20^th Avenue early Saturday morning. Police are still investigating that one.

And Police are hoping to hear from anyone who may have witness a large John Deere hay baler being towed from a Salmon Valley farm. The green and yellow baler is model number 375. Anyone with information is asked to call Prince George RCMP.

Re: Large baler being stolen from Salmon Valley. Times have changed. Thieves are now quite active out in our friendly little community. Several bikes stolen, a car, tools, and now the baler. It's going to turn into an interesting story in the future, because the old time farmers out there aren't going to take it....some thief is going to mysteriously disappear WHEN they get caught in the act.

...seems the police and our courts can't do anything about these guy's, so the farmers might as well take a "shot" at it!
