Kamloops RCMP target altered vehicles in two-day blitz
KAMLOOPS — Kamloops RCMP say they’ve partnered with Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement (CVSE) officers to target altered vehicles.
In a news release issued Wednesday (May 18) morning, RCMP say they targeted polluters, along with vehicles with insecure loads, lifts and large tires over a two-day blitz last week. The joint project had check points in Sahali, Juniper and other areas where RCMP received complaints.
In one example, RCMP say they pulled over a large, lifted pickup truck near the hairpin turn on Summit Drive that had tires too wide for its wheel wells, along with a suspected altered exhaust system and mud flaps that were too small.
“These people are just driving down the highway pushing smoke out so we’re going to be cleaning that up,” Cpl. Wayne Chung says.
