Trail and Greater District

Sofa blocks highway

File # 2025-223

On Friday, January 17, 2025, at 4:39 a.m. a frontline Trail and Greater District RCMP officer responded to a report of a couch blocking the Schofield Highway, in Warfield, BC. The officer attended, located the wayward couch, and removed it from the roadway.

Typically, most old couches are still in hibernation inside the basements of residences during the winter months. We usually don’t see them migrating across local highways into the surrounding forests until spring, says Sgt. Wicentowich

To report illegal dumping, please contact the Trail Detachment at 250-364-2566 or the Report All Poachers and Polluters (RAPP) line at 1-877-952-7277.

On Sunday, January 19, 2025, frontline Trail and Greater District RCMP officers executed a search warrant under the Controlled Drugs and Substance Act on a residence located in the 500 block of 10 Avenue, in Montrose, BC. The officers arrested a 20-year-old Montrose man at the residence. The man was taken into police custody and later released. Officers seized 420 grams of a substance believed to be MDMA, a digital scale, and a cell phone.

The investigation is ongoing and no charges have been laid at this time.

I would like to commend the officers involved for their work in this investigation, and for continuing to keep our communities safe, says Sgt. Wicentowich.
