A search warrant executed in January resulted in quite the haul for the Vernon RCMP.
Officers executed the search warrant at a local storage locker facility and it resulted in 100 suspected stolen items.
The items included a large number of tools and other items ranging from a boat motor to a horse saddle.
According to the RCMP, the value of goods recovered is over $35,000.
Brandon Wilson and Natasha Perry, both 32-year-olds from Vernon, are no facing multiple charges in relation to the thefts that took place in the North Okanagan in December.
“Officers are working hard to re-unite victims with their property at this time and any identified victims are being contacted by police to attend the local detachment,” said Cst. Kelly Brett.
"Targeting persons responsible for break and enters and theft is important to crime reduction and community safety,” added Sgt. David Evans.
The investigation is ongoing and police expect to forward additional charges to the BC Prosecution Office in relation to the “numerous” break and enter incidents.
