An offender facing 28 charges is off the streets due to a concerted effort between the Oliver and Osoyoos RCMP.
Arjen Jessy Alexander Huber, 29, is in custody awaiting a January 25 court date to answer charges including possessing a firearm, uttering threats and possession of stolen property.
“This male is a huge problem in Oliver, Willowbrook and Keremeos,” said Oliver detachment Sgt. Don Wrigglesworth.
He noted that Oliver and Osoyoos members recently apprehended Huber on numerous warrants at a hotel in Osoyoos.
“This is a property offender with a strong propensity toward violence and his charges show that,” Wrigglesworth said. “I know that my officers and the people of this community will be much safer knowing that this criminal has finally been locked up.”
Wrigglesworth said several additional charges will be going forward for a number of other offences allegedly committed by Huber.
Included in the original charges are: wilfully resisting or obstructing a peace officer, public mischief, possession of a controlled substance, possessing counterfeit money, and contravening a regulation regarding storage, handling, transportation, shipping, display, advertising and mail-order sales of firearms and restricted weapons.
