A 30-year-old Kamloops man will not go down as a criminal mastermind after having items purchased with a stolen credit card delivered directly to his home.

Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said the unidentified suspect was arrested after police searched his residence and found property that had been stolen from two separate vehicles.

“On May 19, a man reported his vehicle had been broken into while parked on River Street. Stolen were his identification and credit cards,” said Shelkie. “Subsequent police investigation showed the victim’s credit cards had been used to purchase approximately $700 worth of clothing online and it was to be delivered to a residence on Alberni Avenue.”

On May 20, police executed a search warrant at the residence and found items stolen from the vehicle on River Street as well as items stolen from another vehicle the previous day.

The man is facing charges of use of stolen credit card and three counts of possession of stolen property.

The suspect is from Kamloops and was previously known to police. His next court date is June 9.

“Kamloops RCMP has dedicated resources to review investigations into property crimes to identify and target property offenders,” said Shelkie.
