Three months after an assault causing bodily harm on the Village Stroll, Whistler RCMP is asking for the public’s assistance in identifying three suspects linked to the Remembrance Day incident.
In a release, police said a man was assaulted by three unknown males between 11 and 11:30 a.m. on Nov. 11, 2021 in the area of 4400 Sundial Place in the village.
One of the suspects is described as being approximately 19 years of age, 5-9 tall, with curly brown hair. The second male is described as Caucasian, “taller,” with short blonde hair, while a third male was also described as Caucasian, “shorter,” with a shaved head.
Police are hoping for the public’s assistance in this case and are asking anyone with relevant information to contact the Whistler RCMP’s non-emergency line at 604-932-3044, or Sea to Sky Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or solvecrime.ca to remain anonymous.
Pique is awaiting a response from police as to why investigators are seeking the public’s help three months after the reported assault and will update this story if and when we get a reply.
Impaired driver flees police after driving on Fitz Creek bridge
An impaired driver learned their lesson not to drive on Fitzsimmons Creek Bridge the hard way last week after local police said the vehicle nearly struck pedestrians.
At approximately 11:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 2, Whistler RCMP responded to a vehicle driving on the pedestrian-only bridge near the Upper Village, according to a release. The vehicle caused damaged to the covered bridge structure and “almost struck” pedestrians in the area, police said.
The driver then fled the scene before being located by officers a short distance away. In the release, Cpl. Nate Miller thanked the public for their assistance in this instance.
The driver now faces charges of operating a motor vehicle while impaired.
Stolen skis and boards recovered
Local police, with the assistance of Whistler Blackcomb security, recovered a number of skis and boards stolen from the Village Stroll and are now hoping to return them to their rightful owners.
Whistler RCMP received a report of the theft of skis from near the Whistler Village Gondola on Feb. 7. Investigators believe the items were taken sometime between Jan. 30 and Feb. 7.
To claim the items, owners will need to provide police with further identification of the items not visible in the second image in the photo gallery above provided by the RCMP.
Ski gear, tools stolen from vehicle
Ski equipment and power tools were reportedly stolen from a vehicle last week, police said.
At about 3 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 3, Whistler RCMP responded to the theft reported in the area of the Cal Cheak Forest Service Road. Police said the suspect gained access through the driver-side door.
