You know it's a small town...

In a small, sometimes sleepy town, seemingly nothing can be newsworthy.

Take Chase, for example.

Police in the community of about 2,000 are looking for an individual who did something they shouldn't have done, but got nothing in return – twice.

Early last week, police were alerted to two instances in which vehicles were rummaged through. One occurred on Cedar Avenue, the other on Okanagan Avenue.

In both cases, nothing of value was left inside the vehicle, and nothing was reported to be missing.

Police in Chase are looking for information on the would-be thief.

Meantime, an unidentified man was taken to hospital for treatment after he jumped in front of a moving transport truck on the Trans Canada Highway just east of the junction with Highway 97.

The driver was able to avoid the man, but in the process, sent his rig into a ditch.

The driver and vehicle were not harmed.

The suspect fled the scene toward the river.

Chase RCMP, with the assistance of dog patrols and air support, were able to locate the man.
