LOGAN LAKE, B.C. — A smartphone app helped the victims of an auto theft in Kamloops track down their stolen vehicle earlier this week.
According to Logan Lake RCMP, the theft happened at about 6:30 Monday morning (Oct. 26) at a local hotel room. The suspect allegedly broke into a hotel room, stole vehicle keys and a cell phone, then used the keys to take a vehicle from the parking lot.
Using an app on another phone, the vehicle’s owners tracked the car to the Coquihalla Highway near the Logan Lake turnoff.
A local towing company came across the vehicle after it was involved in a minor crash, and the theft suspect called the tow company to get it going again.
