Prince George, B.C. – It has been nearly a year and a half since  Prince George Fire Rescue member Jeremy Kostyshyn was charged  in relation to  a  stolen property case,  today, the trial was set to get underway.

Kostyshyn is facing 6 counts of possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000  and 3 counts of trafficking in property obtained by crime over $5,000.

Police say the property recovered during the course of the investigation includes two jet boats, a skid steer and a  mini excavator.

This is the second attempt at holding this trial.  You may recall the first trial  ended in a mistrial in June  when the judge hearing the matter discovered he was a family friend of one of the victims of theft.

Crown  expects the trial to last three days. This time, the case is being  heard by Judge Shana Keyes.
