MAN AND WOMAN ACCUSED OF BREAKING INTO CABINS
AND TRAILERS NOW CHARGED CRIMINALLY
Criminal charges have now been approved by the BC Prosecution Service in relation to an alleged break and enter back in May of this year.
The incident took place on May 12, 2021, when a very alert local called police to report observing two suspicious persons entering a private McLure area property on foot.
A Kamloops RCMP Police Dog Service canine team was called in to assist with a search of the area, and Police Service Dog Kody quickly located the track, and led his handler and Barriere RCMP officers to two suspects who were taken into police custody without incident.
While tracking the man and woman, police observed evidence along the way to suggest that the suspects were breaking into cabins and trailers in the area.
