A driver narrowly escaped injury after a single-car rollover took place on Highway 99 and Blueberry Drive on Nov. 6 at about 4:30 a.m.
Police say the driver hit a sheet of ice, slid off the road, and collided with a rockfall. The collision caused the car to roll onto the driver’s side, trapping the driver and blocking the southbound lane.
The driver was not injured.
It was one of 109 files opened by the Whistler RCMP from Nov. 1 to 7.
TV thief on the loose
Police were called to the 4800 block of Glacier Lane at about 7:25 p.m. on Nov. 6 when a not-so-neighbourly man attempted to steal a television from a lobby.
According to police, the man fled the scene without the TV when confronted. While police are still trying to identify him, they say he lives in the area—though most certainly didn’t own the TV.
Drunk driver caught
Shortly after 12 a.m. on Nov. 6, an RCMP officer out on a routine patrol spotted a car speeding and watched it drive through a stop sign in Whistler Village's Day Lot 3. After pulling the driver over, the officer found evidence that they were impaired and asked them for two breath samples.
The driver failed and immediately received a 90-day roadside driving prohibition. They also had their car impounded and received two violation tickets under the Motor Vehicle Act, police said.
e-Transfer scam
Police are reminding people to keep an eye on their bank statements after a complainant contacted them on Nov. 4 about an unauthorized e-Transfer of $2,800 from their account.
The investigation is ongoing, but police advise the public to call their bank if they spot anything out of the norm happening on their account.
Police ask anyone with any information regarding the above files to contact the Whistler RCMP at 604-932-3044, or contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS, or go to the website solvecrime.ca.
