Thieves caught
Apr. 25 at 5 am police were called to the Cache Creek Husky for a suspected impaired driver. Police arrived and found a male and female in the store and discovered that they were acting strangely because they were stealing merchandise. The Prince George pair were not only to be in possession of stolen merchandise (sunglasses, hats, etc.) but were also on condition not to have contact with each other because of alleged previous thefts together. Jesse Bird, 31 and Ursula Monk, 29, were arrested and charged with possession of stolen property and breach of conditions not to associate. Two other people with them were not arrested as they were sitting in their vehicle and did not appear to be involved directly with the incident.
