Public works break-in

On October 18, the Village of Cache Creek public works yard was broken into and a Cache Creek village truck was stolen, along with many power tools. Evidence was collected at the scene and at a subsequent scene where items were discarded on Highway 97, where the vehicle was likely heading north.

RCMP detachments have been alerted to be on the lookout for the 2011 GMC single cab pickup truck with the Cache Creek Village logo on the passenger and driver doors. BC licence plate 4785RN was attached to the front and rear of the truck. Police have three persons of interest who are not being identified at this time.

Any witnesses who observed this vehicle being driven in the early hours of the 18th are requested to call the RCMP or Crimestoppers.

Gas and diesel thefts

Cache Creek has also been the subject of thefts of gas and diesel in the past week. No damage has been done to the vehicles involved; however, the public may wish to look into locking gas caps to assist in deterring this type of behaviour.
