A weekend bait property project, conducted by the Prince George RCMP Downtown Safety Unit saw six arrests made following a string of incidents.
Four arrests were made late Thursday night after bait property was deployed: a pair of men aged 38 and 39, and a woman and man, aged 33 and 35, about an hour later.
All four were taken to the station and subsequently released with documents to appear in court June 3rd.
Shortly after 9 pm on Friday, a man was arrested and held in custody until a court appearance the following day.
34-year-old Aaron Joseph Glover of Prince George was found to be breaching a probation order and conditions of a previous arrest.
Glover is known to police and has been charged by the B.C. Prosecution Service with one count each of:
· Theft under $5000
· Failure to comply with probation
· Failure to comply with release order
Glover has been remanded in custody until his next court date scheduled for Friday.
Later on Friday, a 41-year old man was arrested following a short foot chase, after stealing bait property.
He was transferred to the Detachment and released on court documents for June 3rd.
“Our bait programs are an effective use of our resources and produce positive results every time they are deployed in our community,” said Sgt. Kent MacNeill.
“We want thieves to think twice before they make a decision to take anything that does not belong to them.”
Anyone with information about property-related crime is asked to call their local RCMP detachment or Crimestoppers.
