Kimberley man arrested for theft and mischief
On March 19, Cranbrook RCMP received a call to the local Canadian Tire Store for a complaint of a suspicious person.
A 23-year-old male was standing outside the Garden Centre with merchandise still wrapped in the security wire. On police attendance the male was no longer there. Police seized items at the location, which had been stolen from the business.
On further investigation a suspect was identified and arrested for Theft Under $5,000 and Mischief. Peter Justin Trickett, a 23-year-old resident of Kimberley, appeared by phone before a Justice of the Peace and was remanded into custody to appear before a Judge today, Monday, March 21 at 2 p.m.
Cranbrook RCMP was impressed with the information provided to them by the employees of the local Canadian Tire Store.
“Without the assistance of staff from the Canadian Tire store and their efforts to help RCMP identify the suspect, this crime may have been left unsolved,” said Cst. Katie Forgeron.
