Nanaimo man jailed for property crimes
NANAIMO — A man with a history of crystal meth use was sentenced to jail following a string of crimes in Nanaimo and Courtenay.
Klint Lee Whitford, 43, will serve the next 82 days in jail after he pleaded guilty to possession of stolen property and a break-and-enter in relation to incidents last year.
Provincial Court in Nanaimo heard Tuesday Whitford was found with more than $5,000 of stolen goods in his backpack in south Nanaimo.
Whitford also admitted to stealing about $2,000 worth of valuables from the Rona store in Nanaimo’s south end.
