Crime wave
Angie Mindus Cariboo Advisor A wave of crime involving machetes and bear spray has Insp. Warren Brown of the Williams Lake RCMP calling for back up. “I need more officers,” Brown said outside the detachment yesterday. Last week the RCMP reported two attacks in the lakecity where the suspects employed the use of the unrestricted weapons of choice, including an “extremely violent” home invasion Halloween night. See Page 3, “Four arrested in home invasion.” The evening before that, a man was attacked outside the O.V. Beer and Wine store for his case of beer. Suspects in that incident punched and kicked the victim before spraying him in the face with bear spray. In Williams Lake Provincial Court yesterday, former Mayor Scott Nelson was testifying as a witness himself in a trial involving a machetes. Nelson said the story dates back to a Sunday afternoon last June where he witnessed two groups of people coming together for an obvious fight on the grounds of Williams Lake Senior Secondary as he jogged on the track. Nelson said a family was playing soccer with their young children at the time and Nelson called police, who arrived immediately and confiscated several machetes. “I think the community is very concerned and very scared,” said Nelson during an interview at the courthouse yesterday. “(These occurrences are) starting to involve innocent people.” Earlier this week the City issued its third quarter crime update, which shows that despite the recent increase, crime stats show a reduction since 2008. In the news release Brown states the recent spike has coincided with a number of prolific offenders being released from jail, and that a few individuals are likely responsible for the majority of the increase. Mayor Kerry Cook stated the increases strengthens her resolve to reduce crime even further.
