CHILLIWACK – Police in Chilliwack say they’ve recovered several stolen vehicles from throughout Chilliwack and arrested two people as part of ongoing investigations.

According to a weekly recap for Monday, August 31 through Sunday, September 6, Chilliwack RCMP spokesperson Corporal Carmen Kiener says police received a report of a utility trailer and ATV stolen from a residence on Cottonwood Court, located a few blocks southeast of the ICBC driver licensing office on Chilliwack Central Road.

Corporal Kiener says the investigation into the stolen utility trailer and ATV led police to Broadway Street. While the trailer and ATV weren’t immediately located, officers did locate a different stolen vehicle parked behind a residence in the area. Cpl. Kiener says the vehicle had been reported stolen from Fletcher Street two days earlier. The homeowner was not connected to the stolen vehicle and cooperated with police in its recovery.

During the investigation, officers located a licence plate associated with yet another stolen vehicle that had recently been recovered on Woodbine Street. Later that day, the stolen trailer and ATV from the initial report were recovered on Ryder Lake Road and held by police for investigation.

One suspect has been arrested and remains in custody while the investigation continues, Cpl. Kiener said. The suspect’s name has not been released, typically because charges haven’t been laid.

In a similar incident this past week, a vehicle reported stolen from a property on Chilliwack Lake Road was quickly recovered after the owner provided officers with GPS tracking information. Police located the vehicle in the Chilliwack Mountain area with a man and woman inside. Officers arrested both occupants during the investigation and determined the woman had no involvement in the alleged theft. The man has been released on strict conditions and is expected to appear in court at a later date, Cpl. Kiener said.

The incidents were two of 938 calls for service the Chilliwack RCMP detachment logged between Monday, August 31 and Sunday, September 6.
