The pair is going to trial in Richmond for the same type of offences in November.
The notice says Joe Morelli of Days Inn and the Coca Cola Security team are working to catch the couple.
It describes them as career thieves who are working their way up and down the Okanagan Valley.
The letter even outlines the couple’s m.o., saying the man is a locksmith who is often seen carrying a bag of tools.
He is reported to drill out vending locks to make a key, while the woman acts as a lookout.
Travel Penticton is urging businesses to keep an eye out for the culprits and call police if they are spotted.
