Police apprehend border jumper City may sell Oughtred Hall, TRE VOR CR AWLEY
A man was arrested just outside Cranbrook after running through the Kingsgate Border Cross in a stolen truck on Wednesday morning. At 11:20 a.m., a male in a stolen pick up truck ran the border at the Kingsgate Border Crossing into Canada. Canada Border Services Agency notified local RCMP Detachments and the stolen vehicle was spotted by Commercial Vehicle Inspectors at Yahk heading to-
wards Cranbrook. East Kootenay Traffic Services and Cranbrook RCMP members were able to locate the vehicle and stopped traffic westbound coming out of Cranbrook. Police then quickly executed a safe vehicle stop and arrested the lone male occupant on Highway 3 near Silver Springs Road at 1:05pm. The man is currently in custody and being held in relation to entering into Canada unlawfully, possession of stolen property and driving offences.
The Cranbrook RCMP thanked the drivers that were inconvenienced while the arrest was being made. “This is an excellent example of the level of cooperation we enjoy with our partner Agencies and Detachments in our area,” said S/Sgt. Hector Lee “Your Cranbrook RCMP members involved did an excellent job in getting this vehicle stopped and taking the male driver into custody as safely as possible with minimal risk to the public.”
