But their criminal deeds were exposed after police caught them in the act red handed.

According to a news brief from Chilliwack RCMP spokesperson Corporal Carmen Kiener, Mounties in Chilliwack responded on Sunday, April 21 at approximately 3 p.m. for the report of a break and enter in progress at a construction site. A male was seen entering the second floor of what appears to be an apartment building on Riverside Drive, after cutting a hole in the construction fence.

Police responded and located a male and female suspect who were arrested for break and enter. Cpl. Kiener says police investigated and discovered that copper wire was being cut and taken from inside the building.

The male and female were released from custody and will appear in court at a later date.
