A thief left empty handed after being confronted in Salmon Arm.
Salmon Arm RCMP Staff Sgt. Scott West said on April 18 at 11:12 p.m., police received a call from a representative from a business on Auto Road.
“A male suspect was attempting to hook up a trailer that was not his with a mini excavator on it,” said West.
“The caller confronted the male and he fled in a white, diesel, Chev or GMC truck bearing Alberta Plates.”
The vehicle plate was not obtained at the time and patrols did not locate the vehicle.
“There was a second vehicle associated to this attempted theft, but the description of that vehicle was not obtained,” said West.
