The search continues for a pair of suspects linked to the reported theft of a vehicle from a Whistler worksite last week, police said in a release.
At about 11:30 a.m. on Thursday, Sept. 15, a black 2003 Nissan Xterra was stolen by two unknown suspects from the 9000 block of Skiers Rest Drive in WedgeWoods. The SUV’s owner told police they saw an Asian male and Caucasian female inside the vehicle as they travelled south on Highway 99, before getting out of the car, entering a grey Toyota Camry and continuing south.
Police said officer patrols and forensic examination of the stolen vehicle came back with negative results. The recovered SUV was eventually returned to its owner.
Out-of-town group caught dining-and-dashing from Whistler restaurant
A group of visitors were caught by police last week after they left a village restaurant without paying their bill, according to the Whistler RCMP.
On Wednesday, Sept. 14, the group of five dined and dashed from a restaurant in the 4300 block of Blackcomb Way, police said. Staff chased one of the men from the party out of the restaurant, before the suspect ended up behind the nearby RCMP detachment, where officers detained him for fraudulently obtaining food and beverage, police said.
The man eventually returned to the establishment to pay the bill. The restaurant did not want to pursue charges as long as the tab was covered.
