A 53-year-old man and a 44-year old woman, both of no fixed address, have been arrested in connection with a number of thefts in New Brunswick, and across the country.
Over the last year, a number of thefts have been reported across the Western Valley Region of the province in which the same man and woman have been the primary persons of interest, however, police have not been able to identify them.
On July 22, 2024, police received information from a member of the public in relation to these individuals, and were able to attend and arrest the two of them without incident. Police have since learned that the man and woman are persons of interest in numerous thefts in Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia.
The individuals would advertise items for sale online via Facebook Marketplace and Amazon, and once an interested buyer was identified, the two would make a list of items and proceed to steal them from different businesses. They would then immediately ship the items to the buyer.
Police are actively working to determine if there were other victims. If you are a victim of a similar occurrence, or if you have information that may help further the investigation, please contact the Western Valley Region RCMP at 506-325-3000.
