On June 9, 2020, Hudson’s Hope RCMP officers were called to a property in Farrell Creek, B.C., to arrest Justin Marshall Thibault for theft and dangerous driving.

When they arrived, they found a bear cub in a cage and a number of stolen items.

Conservation officers were called in as Mounties executed a warrant and seized illegally-stored firearms, tools, medical gear and seven stolen vehicles.

Provincial court records show Thibault was sentenced for unlawful possession of live wildlife on March 3.

Charges against a second person in connection with the case were stayed.
