Bears are looking for any food source to fatten up for the winter hibernation. Citizens are encouraged to take steps to avoid conflict with wildlife. Please lock your residences and cars, store your food garbage indoors, and clean up any fallen fruit or food sources in your yard that may attract bears,

Wildlife conflict can be reported to the BC Conversation Officer Service through their online service at this link, or by calling 1977-952-7277 (RAPP).

RCMP said that on August 8, 2024, at 7:43 p.m. a frontline Trail and Greater District RCMP officer received a report of a break, enter, and theft to a residence in the 600 block of Rossland Avenue, in Trail, BC.
A 27-year-old Trail man allegedly broke into the residence and stole several items, including three hats. The man left the residence wearing a stolen red fedora with a black band.

and items. Officers located and arrested the 27-year-old Trail man. They seized the items stolen in a search subsequent to his arrest.
The man was taken to the Trail Detachment and detained in custody during a bail hearing by a Provincial Court Judge. He is scheduled to make his next appearance before a Provincial Court Judge on August 12, 2024.
Spencer Roy Henderson of Trail (27) is currently charged with one count of Break, Enter, and Theft contrary to Section 348(1)(b) of the Criminal Code.
