Maple Ridge teen steal bait car
A bait car helped police nab a pair of teenage car thieves in maple Ridge this week.
The teenage boys broke into the car, which was parked on a street in west Maple Ridge around 1 a.m.
Police officers were nearby and took the pair into custody without incident.
Both were released to the care of their parents.
“Bait cars have proven to be the best way for all police agencies to deal with car thieves,” said Sgt. Dale Somerville.
“When a thief, or in this case thieves, steal a bait car, police are quickly able to put together a good case supporting charges. Remember, bait cars are everywhere.”
