Circumstances
After a break-and-enter and theft at a business on Keis Avenue in Quesnel on Jan. 1, 2018, the business owner gave police a tip on Jan. 3, reporting he had information as to where his stolen electronic device may be located.
A press release from the Quesnel RCMP states members of the Quesnel RCMP General Duty and Crime Reduction Units attended a residence in the 1700 block of Blackwater Road to follow up on the tip.
They found a stolen trailer parked at the home.
Upon entering the house, the officers say they saw stolen property in plain view.
The officers subsequently arrested some occupants of the home for possession of stolen property.
Once a search warrant was obtained, police say they searched the property, where they seized the electronic device belonging to the business owner from Keis Avenue, as well as several firearms and other stolen property.
