Whistler police are investigating a break-in to a village business that led to the building being vandalized, according to a release.
At approximately 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 29, Mounties were notified of the break-in to a building in the 4100 block of Springs Lane.
Investigators have since learned that a male gained access to the building by breaking a window sometime between midnight and 4 a.m. the previous night. Police said the suspect spent “several hours” inside the business, vandalizing and causing damage to the room before leaving.
He is described as Caucasian, approximately 20 to 25 years old, 5-10 in height and weighing roughly 150 pounds, with shoulder-length brown hair.
Anyone who recognizes the suspect is asked to contact the Whistler RCMP at 604-932-3044, or Sea to Sky Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 to remain anonymous.
Whistler man has licence suspended over Halloween hit-and-run
A Whistler man had his licence suspended and his vehicle impounded on Halloween after he struck a parked car and fled the scene, police said.
At approximately 11:30 p.m. last Saturday, Oct. 31, Whistler RCMP were tipped off to the hit-and-run in the area of Northlands Boulevard and Lorimer Road. Mounties said the 42-year-old driver initially stayed at the scene for several minutes, before fleeing once police were called.
Officers tracked down the driver a short distance away, where he refused a roadside breath test, resulting in an immediate 90-day driving suspension. His vehicle was also impounded for 30 days.
The Whistler man was one of seven drivers taken off the roads by Whistler and Pemberton RCMP for impaired driving in the past week, police said.
“Unfortunately, drivers do not seem to be getting the message not to drink and drive,” read a statement from police. “Whistler RCMP want to remind the public that traffic safety continues to be a detachment priority and the public can expect continued enforcement with zero tolerance for impaired drivers.”
