Merritt RCMP were called to a residence in the 2100 block of Granite Ave. this morning after being alerted to possibly stolen property being dropped in the homeowner’s yard.

“On June 5th The Merritt RCMP were called to a residence on the 2100 block of Granite Ave as a homeowner awoke to find a complete set of tires & wheels in her yard,” reads a release by Merritt RCMP.

“The homeowner has no idea who the wheels belong to and called police. Police have seized the tires/wheels and are looking to locate the rightful owner. Police believe these tires and wheels are stolen and it’s likely the rightful owner is not yet aware of the theft.”

The tires and wheels are from a Toyota Tacoma or a Toyota 4-Runner. Police are asking anyone who believes they may be the owner of this stolen property to attend the Merritt RCMP detachment to identify and claim them.
