Value of the items stolen was in excess of $4,700.

November 27; Highway 101, south
At approximately 2 am, RCMP were making patrols on Hwy 101 near Rifle Range Road when they observed a vehicle swerving in and out of the lane. Police stopped the vehicle and spoke to the driver, a 43-year-old female from Powell River, who showed signs of impairment; a standardized field sobriety test was completed. The driver performed poorly and as a result, a drug recognition exam was completed. She was issued a 24-hour driving prohibition and may be facing impaired driving charges at a later date.
