Two New Westminster residents are behind bars after devices used for making fake IDs and credit cards were found inside their home.
The investigation began in December when officers were called to assist bailiffs during several evictions at an apartment building in the 100 block of Seventh Street. Bailiffs alerted police when they found items used to make fake IDs and credit cards inside one of the units, noted a press release from New Westminster police.
Investigators with the major crime unit took over the investigation and on March 4, charges were laid against two residents: 42-year-old Shane Douglas Farnsworth and 31-year-old Sylwia Pauline Przybylska.
Farnsworth is charged with three counts of theft from mail; unlawful use of mail key; possessing stolen mail, mail container or mail key; break-and-enter and committing an indictable offence.
Przybylska is charged with break-and-enter; committing an indictable offence; theft of mail; and five counts of breach of undertaking or recognizance.
The charges are connected to incidents in March, April, May, and September of 2015, and one in January of this year.
Both accused remain in custody at this time. They are scheduled to appear in court on March 30 to fix a date.
