Nicky Nicky Nine Doors
17 years old is just a wee bit too old to be running around the community at 11:00 p.m. playing “Nicky Nicky Nine Doors”. However I guess if you are a bored kid with nothing more constructive to do on a Monday night it probably seemed like a recipe for some quick thrills.
Last Monday night police received a complaint from a resident in the 5400 block of 54th Avenue West that the occupants of a red GMC pickup truck had banged on his door and took off in the vehicle but not before he was able to obtain a licence plate number. With the licence plate number in hand to identify the owner of the vehicle police attended the owner’s residence where they found the 2001 red GMC Sierra pickup truck with the engine still warm sitting in the driveway.
Since the police, except on very special occasions, seldom play “Nicky Nicky Nine Doors”, they knocked on the door and then waited patiently for the door to be answered by the registered owner and his parents.
Once police explained why they were there, the young man admitted he had been playing Nicky Nicky Nine Doors. Police advised the boy that these type of nocturnal activities are frowned upon by them and the homeowners who are the victims of these types of rather inconsiderate juvenile pranks.
A few hours after resolving the case of the nocturnal knocker, police were dispatched to an alarm at the Bargain Store. Police arrived on scene where it appeared a would-be thief or some inconsiderate vandal with a penchant for indiscriminately breaking windows used a large chunk of tree branch to break the front window of the store before running away. Police confirmed with the property representative that whoever was responsible did not gain entry to the store and nothing appeared to have been stolen.
PT Cruiser in Fort Nelson
On the Alaska Highway police recognised the 22-year-old man driving a PT Cruiser was not displaying the required “N” sign on the vehicle and also had too many passengers inside the vehicle.
Once police stopped the vehicle and walked up to the driver’s window they quickly recognised something else, the bouquet of marihuana emanating from within the vehicle.
Police immediately detained the vehicle’s occupants for possession of a controlled substance. They then searched the vehicle and occupants, but did not locate any drugs.

However after performing several Standardized Field Sobriety Tests police suspended the driving privileges of the 22 -year old vehicle operator for 24 hours. Also at the request of the Motor Vehicle Branch Superintendent police issued the driver with a further six month suspension of his driving privileges just before impounding the vehicle.
This one goes to the Moose who failed to remain at the scene of the accident.
Early Wednesday morning at 12:40 a.m. police received a call from a 35 year old Fort Nelson man reporting he had collided with a Moose at KM 10 of Hwy #77. Police were advised by the driver he was not injured, the Ford F-350 truck was badly damaged just drivable enough to safely move it off of the travel portion of the road and as for the Moose it was last seen running off
into the bush.
Illiterate and vulgar grafitti artist
It would appear most unfortunately for communities everywhere there will always be that small percentage of people whether residents or transients who derive great pleasure and fulfillment from stealing, damaging and destroying other peoples and or community property.
As it happens police just happen to be looking for one or more of these inconsiderate persons responsible for spray painting J.S. Clark Elementary School, the back wall of the commercial building where the Northern Health, Dentist Office, Laundromat and Movie Rental store are located as well as two police trucks in the 4600 block of 52nd Avenue East, a private citizens truck in the 4800 block of Sunset Drive and the Provincal Building on Sunset Drive.
It is clear from the extremely foul and racist gibberish spray painted on the side of the Commercial Building on Airport Drive and Provincal Building that the person responsible for this damage has a very limited vocabulary and is probably quite proud of their art work undoubtedly bragging about their latest accomplishment someone. Hopefully that someone will give the police a call, or call Crimestoppers if they wish to remain anonymous.
Watch for wandering car thieves!
Thefts from vehicles, despite repeated warnings from police, educational initiatives and widespread advertising about vehicle thefts and thefts from vehicles many local residents and businesses are still leaving their vehicles insecure, doors unlocked, keys in the vehicle with valuables in plain sight for a thief to help themselves too. In the past week police have investigated several thefts from vehicles where the vehicle owners left their vehicle unlocked or locked with expensive items inside, electronics, GPS, wallets, purses, personal identification and tools for thieves to simply help themselves to and walk away.
If you have items of value sitting in plain sight inside your vehicle locking the doors will not stop a thief you might as well leave the vehicle unlocked so the thief does not have to damage your vehicle when they help themselves to your property. To lessen the chances you will be the victim of a thief never leave your unattended
vehicle unlocked and never leave items of value in plain sight inside your vehicle.
“Passed out fellow and a bottle of wine”
“Hello again!”
This past Saturday evening at 10:02 p.m. police received a call reporting a male laying on the ground next to the bench by the old Shell Service station. When police arrived on scene they discovered one of their most frequent clients
sound asleep next to an empty 2 liter bottle of less than fine wine.
After considerable effort police managed to wake up the very intoxicated 60-year-old man assisting him to his feet and into the police truck for the trip to the police office where he was lodged in jail for the remainder of the evening.
She tippled and blew over the top
