Three facing charges following stolen school bus investigation in C.B.S.
The RNC made three arrests and recovered stolen property in Conception Bay South (CBS).
Just after 7 a.m. on Tuesday (June 23), Operational Patrol Services responded to a gas-and-dash on the CBS Highway where a driver fled in a school bus. Officers, upon arrival, identified the driver as 23-year-old Logan Oake from surveillance video. The bus he was driving was reported as stolen around 9 a.m..
The bus was later located on Minerals Road. As officers were on scene investigating, a male fled from a nearby home. Roger Kennedy, 41, was arrested on outstanding warrants and breaching a release order.
As a result of the investigation, shortly before noon Tuesday, Oake was located at a home in Long Pond where he was arrested with 27-year-old Lucas Dawe. Oake was charged with theft under $5,000, possessing property obtained by crime, resisting arrest, and breaching a release order. Dawe was charged with two counts of breaching a peace bond and failure to comply with a probation order.
The accused were held in custody to appear in Provincial Court.
The RNC continues to encourage anyone who witnesses suspicious activity to report it directly to police by calling 709-729-8000. Crimes in progress should be reported by contacting 911.
