Mounties nab man who left cellphone in off-duty cop's car
Mounties have a man in custody after a crook busted into an off-duty officer’s car and left a cellphone behind.
B.C. RCMP said prior to the arrest, they were keeping a close eye on a spiking number of car thefts in the small B.C. town.
The cellphone was found inside an off-duty officer’s vehicle Tuesday.
The phone, Mounties say, belonged to Derek Arthor Mitchell, a 28-year-old convicted sex offender who had a Canada-wide warrant for his arrest.
Mitchell -- who is facing charges in Alberta for ditching his parole officer -- was later arrested by Mounties on Wednesday in a home in the B.C. town.
Charges are pending against the man.
