Coquitlam RCMP's Prolific Target Team has kicked off 2016 by arresting two "priority offenders."

On Jan. 5, according to a police press release, officers arrested a 31-year-old man as he attempted to drive away in a stolen vehicle; when searched, the suspect was found to have several stolen identification and credit cards on him.

Bolt Everett Trainor, a Maple Ridge resident, is facing several charges including three counts of possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000. He remains in custody and appears in B.C. Provincial Court again on Jan. 27.

The following week, PTT investigators spotted a stolen SUV in the 600-block of Lougheed Highway in Coquitlam and followed it to a nearby gas station.

Officers arrested Paul Gilles Fontaine, a 49-year-old Coquitlam resident, who is now facing 16 criminal charges in connection with several investigations, including three counts of break and enter, possession of stolen property, assault with a weapon and three counts of trespassing at night.

Police later searched Fontaine's home and recovered items allegedly connected to residential break and enters; additional charges are expected.

Fontaine remains in custody with his next court appearance scheduled for Jan. 28.
