Kurtis BILLY remains remanded in custody and has been charged in relation to his alleged involvement in a number of thefts from vehicles during the past week in Williams Lake. BILLY, who is well known to police, was arrested early Monday morning after he was seen running from police near the scene of an earlier theft from a vehicle. BILLY, who had been arrested two days earlier for an unrelated offense, and had been released on conditions which included a "no go" to the City of Williams Lake, was apprehended and arrested for failing to abide by those conditions. Further investigation suggested that BILLY was in possession of stolen property related to other thefts from vehicles as well as being in possession of break and enter instruments.
BILLY has been remanded in custody and has been charged with: Possession of Stolen Property, Possession of Break and Enter Instruments, Failing to Comply with an Undertaking and Trespass by Night.
BILLY will appear in court at a later date. Williams Lake RCMP continues to investigate.
"The Williams Lake RCMP would like to remind people to ensure they don't leave valuables in their vehicle. If you have to carry valuables in your vehicle, please ensure they are placed out of view from the general public".
"It is also very important to remind hunters and this time of year to ensure their firearms are stored safely and out of sight in their vehicles. If you need to park your vehicle while in town, please keep your firearm out of sight and stored safe. Firearms left out in the open or displayed in a back window will attract thieves. We do not want firearms on our streets and in the hands of thieves."
