A road trip to Mara resulted in the Sicamous RCMP recovering stolen property and seizing a significant amount of drugs.

On May 24, officers went to a rural property on Poirier Road after receiving reports of stolen items being stored there. While speaking with a male resident, the police noted a large, new RV behind the house 鈥渨hich the resident had no explanation for.鈥�

鈥淭he trailer was confirmed to have been stolen from an RV business in Salmon Arm in February of this year,鈥� Sgt. Murray McNeil said in a media release. 鈥淎n enclosed utility trailer was also noted on the property which was reported stolen from Calgary.鈥�

The two trailers were towed from the property and searched at a secure location, revealing further stolen goods as well as drugs. The utility trailer contained a stolen Yamaha snowmobile, a Giant Trance X mountain bike valued at $4,000 that had been stolen in Salmon Arm, and numerous power tools that were taken from BC Hydro.

鈥淭he 33-foot RV was searched, which resulted in the seizure of a large amount of illegal drugs,鈥� McNeil said. 鈥淥ne hundred and three grams of cocaine, 29 grams of fentanyl, multiple fentanyl patches, drug scale, a device to jam radio signals and a prohibited firearm silencer were seized, as well as various amounts of unknown drug tablets.鈥�

Police are continuing to investigate the possession of stolen property and seizure of the drugs, but the resident of the property, a 41-year-old male, has not been charged with any offence at this time.
