A White Lake woman had a frightening encounter June 15, which ended up connected to the unmarked police vehicles seen travelling through the Shuswap Wednesday.

The woman requested her name not be used.

She said she took her quad out to the back trails around Woodhaven campground near White Lake to rescue her son whose motorbike had run out of fuel.

After she found him, she decided to go a bit farther by herself to the beach. Her dog George had followed her so she was going to take him for a swim.

While there, she was filling up her quad with gas. When the can was empty, she put it on the front of the quad. She suddenly heard footsteps behind her. Knowing there are bears in the area, she whirled around.

About five feet from her was a man, she said, 91裸聊视频渁 scary looking guy91裸聊视频� with his face all scratched.

She didn91裸聊视频檛 say a word to him but instead shouted, 91裸聊视频淕eorge.91裸聊视频�

George came bounding out of the water and chased the man, both of them heading down a trail.

She called George back so they could get out of the area.

Asked what she thought the man91裸聊视频檚 intentions were, she said she had no idea.

91裸聊视频淚 don91裸聊视频檛 know. I just wondered if he was coming up behind me to take my quad 91裸聊视频� so he could get farther faster. He looked very lost. I didn91裸聊视频檛 say a word to him.91裸聊视频�

This was about 2 or 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, she estimated.

She said the man seemed to be in his late 30s or maybe mid-40s with a medium build. Along with a scratched face, he had mud all over his pants.

She said she wished she91裸聊视频檇 called police right away. When her spouse came home he said police were looking for someone in Eagle Bay, so they called police.

About 10 police vehicles responded, she said, mostly 91裸聊视频榞host91裸聊视频� vehicles, but she wasn91裸聊视频檛 provided with information about police activities.

Thursday afternoon, June 16, an RCMP media release was issued out of Surrey.

91裸聊视频淥n June 15, 2022 the Salmon Arm RCMP and the Southeast District Emergency Response Team were at a residential address in Eagle Bay working on an investigation that started the previous day. It was learned that a man wanted on a Canada-wide warrant was possibly at the residence. A thorough investigation was completed but the suspect fled the residence prior to police attendance,91裸聊视频� the release reads.

Scott West, adding the man was located just after midnight in the Sunnybrae Canoe Point Road area without incident. He didn91裸聊视频檛 specify whose tip that was.

Salmon Arm RCMP also thanked the public for their patience and for the numerous tips received that led to the man91裸聊视频檚 capture.

Meanwhile, George the well-loved canine is now even more appreciated than usual.

She later heard the man had apparently travelled from Eagle Bay to the Woodhaven campground where he had asked campers for water.
