FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — Mounties have laid charges three years after a pickup truck was used as a battering ram in a daring and damaging robbery at a northeastern British Columbia shopping mall.

Fort St. John RCMP credit tips from the public and dogged work by officers for the three arrests.

Mitchell Jeff, Rodger Davis and Tammy Trotter face a lengthy list of charges.

All three are charged with possession of stolen property while charges against Jeff and Davis include theft of a motor vehicle, break and enter, and mischief.

A stolen truck was used to shatter the exterior doors of Fort St. John’s Totem Mall on Nov. 5, 2013, causing more than $40,000 damage.
