A routine traffic stop in Thunder Bay led police to recover a vehicle reported stolen from Vancouver.
Officials with the Thunder Bay detachment of the OPP say officers stopped a 2012 Hyundai Elantra on the Thunder Bay Expressway on March 6 just before 6 p.m.
Officers spoke to the woman driver, who was the lone occupant of the vehicle at the time. After requesting identification, the suspect provided officers with a false name and false identification.
An investigation revealed that the woman was in possession of stolen property, and a stolen credit card that was used to rent the vehicle, which was taken from Avis Rent a Car in Vancouver.
Jillian Wallis, 29, from Vancouver, B.C., was arrested and charged with:
• Possession of stolen property over $5,000
• Possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000
• Obstructing police
• Impersonation
The suspect is being held in custody, and was scheduled to make a video court appearance on March 7.
