Clothed in stolen goods

A local man and woman have been arrested after they were caught wearing their ill-gotten gains.

On Jan. 30 at 11 a.m., Vernon RCMP were called to the parking lot at the corner of 29th Street and 29th Avenue for a report of a vehicle break-in.

Const. Jocelyn Noseworthy said the back window of the car had been smashed and numerous items stolen including clothes, change and a backpack.

Then at 12:30 p.m., the owner of the vehicle spotted the two suspects walking downtown in her stolen clothing.

A 30-year-old man and a 26-year-old woman, both known to police, were arrested and were scheduled to appear in a Vernon court room Monday.

Noseworthy said the stolen items were in plain sight in the vehicle and once again police are asking area residents not to leave any valuables in the open.
