Dawson Creek RCMP say four people are facing charges after a stolen vehicle helped police uncover links to a rash of thefts in the Peace Region.
Police arrested two occupants of a UTV after the vehicle was reported stolen from the Toms Lake Sunday. Further investigation by the officers turned up evidence connecting the suspects to two other stolen vehicles and stolen trailer located nearby.
RCMP say a further probe has linked the suspects to several other thefts and break-and-enters from Fort St John to Grande Prairie.
Mounties say 25-year-old Ryan Bumstead, 28-year-old Chelbi Hiebert, 28-year-old Hayden Raposo, 21-year-old and Lyric Grey have all been charged with multiple property and vehicle theft related offences.
Police say the investigation is ongoing and anyone with information is asked contact Dawson Creek RCMP or Crime Stoppers.
