WILLIAMS LAKE — A 31 year old Williams Lake man is facing charges of robbery and theft.

Williams Lake RCMP Inspector Jeff Pelley says the alleged crimes occurred on July 5.

He says the first occurred early that afternoon after a man went to a home in the 140 Mile area asking for a ride to Kamloops.

“During the course of this interaction the male grabbed lawn sheers and while brandishing them stole a side by side ATV,” Pelley says.

“Police flooded the area but the male was not located. Later that same day, a quad was stolen from a residence on Knife Creek Road. This quad was later recovered by police and the side by side was recovered by neighbours in the area.”

He says two days later the suspect was spotted on Big Meadow Forest Service Road and was arrested by police.

Pelley says charges of robbery and theft of a motor vehicle have been laid against Williams Paul Bolton.

Bolton remains in police custody awaiting a future court appearance.

Police are crediting the “vigilance and care executed by rural community members” for bringing Bolton into custody.
