Province’s Auto Crime Team recovers stolen vehicles during visit to Prince George

They stuck true to their name.

Police officers from the BC Integrated Municipal Provincial Auto Crime Team (IMPACT) were in Prince George last week, actively patrolling the city for stolen vehicles.

On July 29, 2019, members of IMPACT located a stolen black 2005 GMC Sierra pickup truck parked in the 1500 block of Endako Street in Prince George; the truck had recently been stolen out of Fort St. James. After a short time, a male entered the truck, drove several blocks, and picked up a female passenger. The two drove to a restaurant in the 4100 block of 15^th Avenue, where they were subsequently arrested without incident. A search of the truck revealed three rifles that had been stolen in a break and enter in Fort St. James.

The female passenger was released without charge; however, the 34-year-old man remains in custody and is facing multiple charges.

The BC Prosecution Service has approved the following Criminal Code charges against David Juillette of Fort St. James:

• Possession of Property Obtained by Crime Over $5000

A short time later, a male entered the vehicle and drove several blocks, parking the truck at a business in the 1900 block of Victoria Street, where he was taken into custody without incident. The 28-year-old Prince George man is well known to police. A search of the truck incidental to arrest revealed break-in instruments and property that had been stolen in a break and enter in the Cluculz Lake area.
