Suspicious
• On April 25, police responded to a suspicious incident report after an unknown female entered a work site in the 5700 block of Teredo Street, Sechelt, lit two matches and threw them on the floor before leaving the premises on foot.

The female was also pushing what appeared to be an empty stroller. Police made patrols but were unable to locate the suspect.
Collision
• On April 26, police attended a single-vehicle incident in the 6900 block of Sechelt Inlet Road, Sechelt, and located a woman who had lost control of her electric bicycle and ended up under it on the road. Police conducted traffic control while Emergency Health Services assessed the rider, who was taken to hospital for minor injuries. The bike appeared to be undamaged.
Impaired
• On April 29, police initiated a traffic stop with a possible impaired driver on North Road near Stewart Road, Gibsons, and noted the driver exhibiting signs of intoxication. The driver, who advised he’d had his last drinks shortly before driving, was given a roadside alcohol screening test. After a “warn” result, the driver was issued a three-day immediate roadside prohibition and his vehicle was impounded for the same period.
