Stolen Rolls Royce Phantom found during curfew check by White Rock RCMP

WHITE ROCK (NEWS 1130) — Mounties in White Rock got more than they bargained for during a routine curfew check last month.

Officers showed up to a home on Thrift Avenue near Finlay Street on Dec. 23 when they noticed a Rolls Royce Phantom parked in the garage.

Based on the rarity of the vehicle, valued at $350,000 and the fact it didn’t have a VIN or any license plates, officers did some investigating.

They found that it was stolen from West Vancouver in February of last year.

“As is often the case with property crimes, offenders move the stolen goods into other jurisdictions in hopes of avoiding detection. Offenders should know that police agencies, regardless of the uniform or jurisdiction, work together to solve these crimes, as was demonstrated in this investigation,” Cst. Chantal Sears with the RCMP says.

Police also seized 800 rounds of ammunition from the home.

No charges have been laid at this point.
