Video surveillance in Lumby, B.C., on Nov. 25 shows a truck pulling out of a yard around 7 a.m., apparently heading towards Vernon with two stolen trailers in tow.

“They broke into the fence, it’s a locked compound,” said Loretta Mulligan. “They hooked up my ATV trailer, my sled trailer. One had the ATV on it, one had the (snowmobile) on it.

“They attached those two trailers together and they hooked them up to their truck.”

Mulligan said both trailers had locks on them, “and the compound had a lock on it as well. The individual obviously knew what they were doing.”

Anyone who may have seen a white truck hauling two trailers with an ATV and a snowmobile is asked to contact Lumby RCMP and quote file number 23-74-74.
