This story has been updated with new details.
A 51-year-old man was sentenced to 120 days in jail and 18 months probation following a break-in at a residential trailer.
Scott Andrew Paquette appeared in court on Monday, April 23, charged with break and enter to commit an indictable offence (mischief).
Osoyoos RCMP said Paquette was found to be unlawfully in a recreational trailer on Lakeshore Drive on April 7.
Police said Paquette was apparently living in the trailer where he was found.
They described him as “somewhat transient” and noted that he was arrested, convicted and served time in jail after a similar office in Osoyoos in 2014.
RCMP said that in late March and early April, Osoyoos RCMP responded to a rash of break and enters and thefts from recreational trailers and motorhomes on Lakeshore Drive.
