“Most people did exercise patience, however there are a few that did not. People need to understand that when RCMP are doing an investigation, it is extremely important that they get it right. There is no second chance once the evidence is cleaned up,” Nanoose Fire said in a statement to NanaimoNewsNOW.

The RCMP’s Central Island Traffic Services declined comment when contacted Saturday morning.
