On July 10th, 2023, the Nelson Rural RCMP responded to a report of dynamite inside a U-Haul van which had been abandoned on a property in the 3000 block of Easy Road, in Passmore, BC. The vehicle had been parked on the property for several days prior.
The care-takers of the property observed what they believed to be dynamite with blasting caps inside the vehicle.
