The evening of May 14, 2025 the Castlegar RCMP were alerted to a suspect attempting to steal a pickup truck located in the 1400 block of Columbia Avenue in Castlegar, BC. The owner of the truck called police just before 11:00pm while witnessing the suspect in their truck.
RCMP immediately responded to locate the suspect who was described as approximately 5’6 in height, slim build, and wearing a light brown sweater.
Police arrived on scene observing the vehicle’s door ajar, various items scattered on the ground, with the suspect fleeing prior to police arrival.
Witnessing that some of the scattered items included food, investigating officers suspected the culprit was a bear. Upon viewing a neighbor’s security system, their suspicion was confirmed with police believing that given the bears description of a slim build, the bear had no intentions in stealing the truck and was looking for easy food.
slim build
It is not uncommon for bears to access vehicle’s by opening unlocked doors or through open windows. People are reminded to secure their vehicles and remove food items from their vehicles.
