AGASSIZ, B.C. - Two men suspected of stealing a truck that was carrying a stolen snowmobile were apparently in need of a rest before they were arrested in Agassiz, B.C.
RCMP say the pair was fast asleep in the cab of the vehicle Saturday night when a Mountie woke them up and took into custody.
Cpl. Len vanNieuwenhuizen says the officer saw the vehicle parked in a boat launch parking lot but without a boat trailer attached.
He says the truck's licence plate had an expired decal and was flagged as stolen from another truck and the bed of the vehicle contained a snowmobile that had been reported missing.
Twenty-three-year-old Raymond Thiffault of no fixed address made his first court appearance Monday morning in Chilliwack provincial court on two charges of possession of stolen property over $5,000.
The second male, a 33-year-old resident of Chilliwack, has been scheduled to appear in court on July 29 on the same charges.
