Frenchies Poutinerie trailer found north of Kamloops

KAMLOOPS — A food truck stolen from a local poutinerie has been found north of Kamloops.

In a Facebook post, Frenchies Poutinerie says the company's food truck that was stolen in July was found by a resident on a property near Barriere.

"The trailer is now at the Barriere (RCMP) detachment and will be brought to Kamloops after they do forensic fingerprinting," the restaurant said in a post yesterday, Aug. 20.

The owner says they haven't had a chance to see the trailer to determine what condition it is in.

"According to Barriere RCMP, it is not in a total loss shape. We will keep everyone posted," the restaurant says.

The trailer had been stolen on July 31.

The restaurant had also launched a contest offering free poutine for a year yesterday. People who purchased traditional poutine by donation were entered in a contest to win a free poutine a day for a whole year. Donations would go towards helping the restaurant bounce back from the financial loss suffered from the theft of the trailer. 

"For the people who entered in the draw today (Aug. 20) still get (an) awesome chance in winning poutine for a year," the restaurant says.
