RCMP give Nickel Days Weekend Update

Thompson RCMP was busy during the Nickel Days weekend.

 

161 traffic tickets were issued throughout the weekend, with 81 of them for speeding. At least 9 of those busted were driving at speeds of over one hundred kilometres an hour within city limits.

 

There were also two tickets issued for impaired driving; one for alcohol and one for cannabis; and there were four roadside suspensions.

 

One traffic stop resulted in around 330 oxycodone pills being seized by police, and a 32 year-old man being charged with possession for the purpose of trafficking.

 

Constable Sandy Deibert says the RCMP is committed to keeping Thompson roads safe, adding that they are ensuring drivers who refuse to obey the laws of the road are held accountable.
