Thief Pick Wrong Camper To Steal
On February 13th 2000 a $35, 000 camper was stolen from "Highlite Truck Accessories” in the 5600 block Landmark Way Surrey. Suspects entered the fenced compound and stole the 11 foot "Bigfoot " camper.
Not known to the thieves the camper was equipped with a "Boomerang Stolen Vehicle Recovery System" (basically it's electronic tracking device). Within 1 hour of the camper being discovered missing on Monday morning the unit was pinpointed to an address in Hope B.C.
Supported with a search warrant and assistance from the Hope RCMP, members of the Auto Theft Task Force searched a residence situated in the 20, 000 block Beacon Rd. This is a residential area and the property in question is a one acre lot with a large enclosed garage at the rear of the property. Not only was the stolen camper recovered but also a $5000 ATV stolen from Alberta was recovered.
No one way home at ,but sufficient evidence was obtained which we believe may support criminal charges against one male suspect.
This is the first time in B. C where this cellular based vehicle tracking technology for stolen property has been used to recover stolen property. "Boomerang" has been in operation in Quebec and Ontario with great success in recovering stolen cars. The unit can be “Audio Security” outlets. It’ s valued at
$599 plus a $ 10.00. per month operating fee.
The unit has been in B.C. since June 1999.
