Quesnel RCMP responded to a report on Tuesday (Oct 25) that a camper parked along Highway 97 had been broken into and had some items stolen.
Sergeant Clay Kronebusch says a suspect vehicle was quickly identified.
“At approximately 5:21 p.m., RCMP located the suspect vehicle on Jade Street. A 27-year old man and a 27-year old woman, both from Williams Lake, were arrested.”
Kronebusch says the vehicle they were driving had been stolen out of Quesnel in September and has been linked to other serious offences in the Williams Lake area.
“These travelling criminals have no boundaries. They travel from one community to the other committing crimes in the communities they visit.”
Patrick Power has been charged with possession of a stolen vehicle and taking a vehicle without the consent of the owner in Quesnel, as well as with possession of stolen property in relation to a Williams Lake incident.
Kyla Power has been charged with possession of a stolen vehicle and occupying a vehicle that was taken without consent.
