SPENCES BRIDGE, B.C. — The B.C. Conservation Officer Service would like the public’s help identifying two men suspected in poaching a yearling Bighorn Sheep lamb near Spences Bridge.

The men were spotted by a motorist on Sunday (Nov. 11) at about 10:00 a.m. just north of Spences Bridge, only 50 meters off the Trans Canada Highway on the north side of the road.

The motorist caught some brief video of the suspects, and it shows them with rifles in hand and both in a shooting position.
