When travelling with a stolen vehicle, it pays to have working tail lights.
Just before 5 p.m. Sunday, a pickup truck towing an enclosed cargo trailer was stopped on Highway 97A near the Swan Lake Junction.
RCMP spokesperson Gord Molendyk says the vehicle was stopped for no tail lamps on the trailer.
“Further investigation learned the trailer was uninsured. The officer conducted further inquiries and the investigation led to the discovery of a stolen snowmobile inside the trailer,” says Molendyk.
He says the snowmobile, a 2009 Polaris, had been reported stolen just two days earlier in the Sicamous area.
The driver of the pickup, a 31-year-old Kelowna man was arrested and released to appear in Court March
