The
RCMP continue to catch a high number of drinking drivers caught on
North Okanagan roads. Police say that over the past week five people
were handed 3-day driving bans, another five received 90-day
prohibitions and one person was charged with impaired. Four people
received 24-hour suspensions, one for drugs, and 14 vehicles were
impounded. A small marijuana grow operation has been busted in Cherryville.
Lumby RCMP officers, armed with a search warrant last week, seized 30
plants and grow equipment from a residence at the Cherryville Estates
Trailer Park. No one was home and police are looking for the person
responsible. The RCMP say they are committed to answering all complaints
about grow ops in the area, no matter how small.
