A 34-year-old Grande Prairie, Alta. man is facing charges of possession of property obtained by crime after police seized two stolen pickup trucks south of Prince George Friday evening.
Members of the Prince George RCMP Crime Reduction Team executed a search warrant on a property in the 400 block of Damms Road, off Highway 97 South, just before 7 p.m., according to a statement released by police.
RCMP officers found two Ford F-350 pickup trucks with their Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN) changed. Police were able to identify one of the trucks as having been stolen in Fort St. John in November and believe the other truck is also stolen.
The Alberta man was arrested, and later released on a promise to appear in court.
