RCMP looking for person responsible for damaging highway signs
By Contributor
Nelson RCMP is requesting the assistance of the public to identify those responsible for damaging several signs on Highway 6 between Crescent Valley and Slocan Park in the early morning hours of March 23 (Saturday).
Sometime overnight between (Friday) March 22 and (Saturday) March 23, someone drove a vehicle into the ditches and over highway signs along Highway 6 between Crescent Valley, BC and Slocan Park.
Approximately 11 signs were damaged, with a cost to repair estimated at $4100.
It is lucky no one was injured during this incident, as the tire marks go quite a way off the road in order to strike these signs.
Damages such as this cost the whole community. There are several residential properties along this stretch of road which could have been effected by this erratic and wreckless driving behaviour.
Most of the signs belonged to the Ministry of Transportation, but some private signs were also damaged.
Anyone with information on this incident, please contact Constable Colleen LOWING at the Nelson RCMP at 352-2156 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
