Police in southern New Brunswick have arrested two individuals following the discovery of a stolen vehicle in the town of Rothesay. The incident occurred recently, leading to criminal charges against a man and a woman.
Police Discovery Leads to Arrests
The Kennebecasis Regional Police Force (KRPF), based in Quispamsis, responded to a call regarding a suspicious vehicle. Upon investigation, officers confirmed the vehicle had been reported stolen. A man and a woman were found inside the vehicle at the time and were subsequently taken into custody without incident.
Charges Laid in Connection with Stolen Property
Both individuals now face charges related to possession of property obtained by crime, specifically the stolen motor vehicle. The police have not released the names of the accused, as is standard practice prior to court appearances. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are looking into the circumstances surrounding how the accused came to be in possession of the vehicle.
Ongoing Efforts Against Property Crime
This arrest highlights the continuing work of local police services in tackling property crime within communities. The KRPF serves the neighbouring towns of Quispamsis and Rothesay, areas that, like many in Canada, are not immune to incidents of vehicle theft. Residents are reminded to always lock their vehicles and report any suspicious activity to authorities promptly.
The accused are expected to appear in court at a later date to answer to the charges. Further details may be released by police as the judicial process moves forward.
