Chilliwack Two Chilliwack men are charged following an RCMP investigation into the theft of a bait car.
Early March 24,(@3:30AM) Chilliwack RCMP were alerted to an alarm triggered from a bait vehicle parked near Reece Avenue and Robson Street.

Despite extensive patrols by police the suspects were not found.
Evidence linking two individuals to the stolen bait vehicle collected by Chilliwack Crime Reduction Unit (CRU) investigators led to the arrests of the suspects by the Priority Offender Suppression Team (POST) on the evening of March 26th.
