Squamish RCMP have arrested two men suspected of having committed a number of thefts.
Last Wednesday (Feb. 12), members of the RCMP's General Investigation Section executed a search warrant at a home in the 38000 block of Gambier Avenue, RCMP Sgt. Wayne Pride wrote in a statement.
Squamish resident Robert Cory Kerr, 23, was arrested in connection with an investigation into a break-in at storage lockers at a local apartment complex on Jan. 17, Pride said.
On Thursday (Feb. 13), police executed another search warrant at a home in the 40000 block of Government Road and arrested Squamish resident Tavis Maurice Lacroix, 26. Both men were described as "well known to police."
During the arrests, police recovered "a quantity" of stolen items, including two mountain bikes valued at $1,700 and $2,000, respectively. Both were returned to their rightful owners, Pride said.
