On Friday, July 19, 2024, at 12:00 p.m., a frontline Trail and Greater District RCMP received a report that a topless year-old Nelson woman was allegedly waving her shirt in the air and standing in the middle of the Highway 22, near Trail, BC. The woman’s vehicle was parked nearby on the side of the road. A motorist stopped to check on the woman who claimed that she was drunk and needed to stop for a break from driving.
An officer patrolled the area and located the woman and her vehicle parked in a parking lot in the 700 block of Victoria Street. The woman claimed to be named Kim Kardashian and said she was trying to sunglasses to a local business but was not successful. The officer determined, surprisingly, that the woman was sober.

On Friday, July 19, 2024, a frontline Trail and Greater RCMP officer received a report that an elderly Fruitvale woman was the victim of a telephone scam, in Fruitvale, BC.
An unknown suspect called the elderly woman and said her that her son had been arrested and was in jail. The caller told the woman that she would have to send $2500 in bail money to him electronically to free her son. The woman sent the money electronically then was contacted again asked to send another $2500. The woman arranged for another $2500 to be sent electronically.
The caller then told the woman that her son had been released and her money would be returned to her if she provided her banking information. The woman provided her banking information. A short time later her bank contacted her about her fraudulent account activity. All of her accounts were frozen by her bank. The woman alerted other financial institutions about the incident to prevent further harm.
The investigation continues.
This is a scam that people fall victim to daily. The police will not ask you to send money to them electronically. Bail money is handled by Canadian court services and you will have to attend a courthouse or police station to turn over bail money. Once money is sent electronically, it is almost impossible to get it back, says Sgt. Wicentowich
