Theft in Ashcroft leads to recovery of two stolen vehicles from Kamloops

KAMLOOPS — A theft from a store in Ashcroft last week led to the recovery of two stolen vehicles.

In a news release issued late Sunday (Aug. 21) evening, Ashcroft RCMP say they were alerted of a theft at Fields on Railway Avenue just after 4 p.m. on Aug. 14.
