Penticton RCMP investigate truck and trailer thefts

PENTICTON – Penticton RCMP are investigating a dispute in ownership regarding a vehicle and the theft of a large trailer from a southend property earlier this week.

Cpl. Don Wrigglesworth says a 1987 Nissan pickup truck reported stolen on April 3 was recovered by police at a residence on Green Lake Road.

A discrepancy with respect to the truck’s actual ownership was encountered by police, as one of the residents claimed they had purchased the vehicle from the registered owner for $600.

A 16-foot cargo trailer bearing license tag 9948D with a large sticker that says, “Moto Motion” was reported stolen from a yard in the 4100 block of Skaha Lake Road at 4 p.m., Monday afternoon, April 10.

The trailer was last seen being towed towards Kaleden by a white truck.

I have been looking for news in the South Okanagan - SImilkameen for 20 years, having turned a part time lifelong interest into a full time profession. After five years publishing a local newsletter, several years working as a correspondent / stringer for several local newspapers and seven years as editor of a Similkameen weekly newspaper, I joined iNFOnews.ca in 2014. My goal in the news industry has always been to deliver accurate and interesting articles about local people and places. My interest in the profession is life long - from my earliest memories of grade school, I have enjoyed writing.
As an airborne geophysical surveyor I travelled extensively around the globe, conducting helicopter borne mineral surveys.
I also spent several years at an Okanagan Falls based lumber mill, producing glued-wood laminated products.
As a member of the Kaleden community, I have been involved in the Kaleden Volunteer Fire Department for 22 years, and also serve as a trustee on the Kaleden Irrigation District board.
I am currently married to my wife Judy, of 26 years. We are empty-nesters who enjoy living in Kaleden with our Welsh Terrier, Angus, and cat, Tibbs.
Our two daughters, Meagan and Hayley, reside in Richmond and Victoria, respectively.
