One of two men charged in connection with a series of thefts from vehicles in December has pleaded guilty to several crimes and been sentenced to more than two years in jail.
Robert Anthony Pickford pleaded guilty to two counts each of break and enter with intent and possession of stolen property as well as theft under $5,000 and sentenced to 27 months in jail.
Coquitlam RCMP investigated a number of thefts last November and suspected it was the work of prolific offenders. Prolific Target Team investigators spotted two men in a stolen vehicle and in a north Port Coquitlam neighbourhood, reportedly stealing property from vehicles in the area, police said.
Pickford was arrested with another man, Ryan Chaffey, whose next court appearance was to be today (Wednesday).
