Nanaimo woman arrested for breaking into two police bait cars within minutes
NANAIMO — A long-standing RCMP effort to curb car thefts managed to catch a prolific thief.
Nanaimo RCMP Cst. Gary O’Brien told NanaimoNewsNOW 33-year-old Kimberly Taylor was arrested around 6 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 22 after she allegedly robbed two RCMP bait cars.
O’Brien said while police were reviewing the footage from the first bait car in central Nanaimo, a second bait car was activated 16 minutes later. The footage from each car allegedly showed Taylor taking items.
He said Taylor had a shopping list of items to steal from cars, which is common in property crimes.
