A woman is in custody, facing over a dozen charges, including stealing things from people’s cars in Campbell River.
On October 15th, Shauna Adams was arrested after an attempted break and enter in the 1200 block of Shoppers Row.
At the time, she was also under investigation for several other property-related offences including thefts from vehicles in September.
In the last month, police say a handful of Campbell Riverites have fallen victim to one of the most common property crimes. Constable Maury Tyre says many were awoken to find their car rummaged through with valuables stolen.
“Most of these incidents can be attributed to vehicles that were left unlocked,” Tyre says, “but the action still leaves the same level of victimization for the owners, that sense of an invasion of their personal space and well being.”
He adds police are happy to have found the person they believe is responsible.
“We were quite pleased to be able to have something to show for our investigative efforts and be able to hold the correct person accountable in some of these matters.”
As of October 26th, 18 separate charges have been approved against Adams including Possession of Stolen Property, Use of Stolen Credit Cards, Mischief, Theft Under $5000, Break and Enter to a Residence, and Trespass at Night.
Tyre says Adams remains in custody.
