RCMP are thanking a citizen who called police to report a suspicious vehicle in their neighborhood.

The resident reported two people who were asleep inside a vehicle parked in the 2900 block of Lardeau Way Monday morning.

Police checked it out and determined the vehicle was stolen and there was evidence of alleged drug trafficking.

A man and woman were arrested and face possible trafficking and stolen property charges.

“Having a keen sense of awareness of your area and surroundings is key to keeping yourself and your community safe,” says Cst. Kelly Brett. “This concerned citizen was aware enough to know that that vehicle and its occupants did not belong in that area and did the right thing by calling police. When something doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t – listen to your gut.”
