The two men were located in a stolen vehicle and in possession of several firearms in Quesnel. On Oct. 13, around 5:00 am, the Quesnel RCMP received a report that heavy equipment was stolen from a logging site on the 1300 Road, east of the city.
While enroute, the police located two men from Williams Lake in a stolen vehicle. Police located and seized four long barrel firearms that had been previously stolen from the Williams Lake area. The investigation revealed the men had driven to a mine site on the 1300 Road in a Dodge truck that was stolen from Williams Lake. When the truck became stuck they tried to remove it with a bulldozer, when that didn’t work they lit the truck on fire.
The men then stole a worksite ambulance but were arrested before they could leave the area. Later the same morning a worker reported two suspicious males on the 1300 Rd.. The police then located and learned the two men were from the Williams Lake area.
The investigation into their involvement is still ongoing.
