Prince George, B.C.- A 34 year old  Prince George man is facing charges after someone  broke into  a bait vehicle in the downtown of prince George.

A suspect was caught on the bait vehicle video,  taking  a number of items from the bait vehicle around 6:30  Saturday morning..

Police later made an arrest,  and the suspect is said to have been in possession of  some crack cocaine.

Darryl David Basil is scheduled  to make his first court appearance on Monday morning.  Police are  recommending charges of theft under $5,000, possession of a controlled  substance and breach of probation.

The Prince George bait car program has an invaluable tool in the fight against vehicle thefts, as well as theft from motor vehicles.  The Prince George RCMP have access to the largest Bait Car fleet in North America, through their partnership with the Integrated Municipal Provincial Auto Crime Team (IMPACT).  This partnership provides the Prince George RCMP with access to any number of vehicles which allows them to address local theft trends.
