Not once, but twice, in three days.
That’s how many times a suspect was arrested following a traffic stop that led to a stolen truck being recovered, then a stolen boat also being seized 48 hours later.
Lake Country RCMP say the first arrest happened on June 8, when a police officer pulled over a “suspicious-looking vehicle” on Woodsdale Road.
“The officer was able to determine the truck, despite having been repainted, was stolen out of Alberta,” police said.
Two suspects in the truck were arrested for possession of stolen property and later released. Police are recommending charges of stolen property over $5,000.

Two days later, on June 8, police said they saw one of the two suspects driving a rental vehicle that was towing a large boat to a local boat launch.
RCMP determined that the boat was also stolen from Alberta, and the suspect was again arrested for possession of stolen property.
