Chase RCMP Detachment By Sgt. Barry Kennedy

On January 22, police were on patrol on Squilax Anglemont Rd and recognized a prohibited driver driving. Police pulled a U turn in an attempt to stop the vehicle, but the driver accelerated away from police and reached speeds of up to 160 km/hr. Police did not attempt to catch the vehicle but rather called for further police units and made patrols for the vehicle. The vehicle was subsequently spotted again, and police attempted to stop the vehicle but it again fled at a high rate of speed. Police utilized a spike belt in the Scotch Creek area to stop the vehicle. Shortly after deployment of the spike belt, the vehicle slid off the road and into a snowbank.

The driver then fled on foot from the vehicle and police set up a perimeter and waited for a police dog to attend, to track the driver. Police received assistance from the public, who reported a suspicious male in the area and with the assistance of residents, police were able to locate the driver and take him into custody. A 36-yearold male from Chase was held in custody pending a court appearance.

While investigating this incident, police located a 36-year-old male who was wanted out of Kamloops. Cory BATTILANA, from Chase, was arrested for outstanding warrants for Driving While Prohibited and Failing to comply with a Release Order. Police can neither confirm nor deny these incidents are related.

COVID TICKET:

On December 13, Chase RCMP were requested to attend a seasonal residence in Magna Bay. The complainant reported that there appeared to be a group of people partying at the cabin, in contravention to the Covid-19 Related Measures Act. Police attended and found that 5 young adults had gathered at the vacation cabin to socialize for the weekend. Three males had travelled from Alberta, where they all live in different residences. There were also two females who were from two different areas of BC. The group was well aware that none of them should be at that location given the current provincial public health orders. A violation ticket was issued for $2300.

SUSPICIOUS

CIRCUMSTANCE:

On December 25 at 10:24 am, Chase RCMP were advised of a suspicious circumstance in Pritchard.

February 2021 The complainant reported he had found several clumps of hair in the middle of the road in an area that is very rural. He collected the hair and saved it for police in case it was important. Police attended and examined the hair. It appeared to be fake, perhaps from a wig or hair extensions. It was dyed black and was still wet. If anyone happens to know where this hair came from, please call the Chase Detachment. In 2020, Chase RCMP received and investigated 248 suspicious occurrence reports.

COLLISION

On December 30 at 10:48 am, Chase RCMP were advised of a single vehicle collision on the Trans Canada Highway, east of Chase. The complainant was a truck driver, who advised that a small blue car attempted to pass him and then went into the ditch. Police and ambulance attended. One occupant, a 36-year-old female from Kamloops, was transported to hospital by ambulance for treatment of relatively minor injuries. The other occupant, a 36-year-old male, also from Kamloops, departed the scene before police arrived. Neither occupant has been cooperative with the police investigation. The investigation is ongoing.

In 2020, Chase RCMP investigated 174 motor vehicle collisions: 80 of those collisions were considered minor; 53 collisions were of a more serious nature; 38 collisions resulted in injuries; and 3 collisions resulted in fatalities. RCMP received a total of 525 driving complaints in 2020
