Unidentified intruder
The afternoon of Saturday, April 2, the Trail RCMP received a report that a man claiming to be a realtor attempted to enter a home in the 500 block of Spokane Street, in Trail. The man said he was showing the house to a client as it was listed for sale. The occupant had not been notified about this potential showing, did not allow the man to continue, and the man left without incident. The occupant contacted the local real estate company who said that they did not have any showings at her residence. The complainant describes the suspect as around 5’6”, having shaved blond hair, wearing large dark sunglasses and a black sweater with a “REMAX” logo over the left breast. Anyone with information about the identity of the man, or anyone who may have experienced a similar incident, is encouraged to call the Trail detachment to speak to an investigator.
