"Our bait programs are an effective use of our resources and produce positive results every time they are deployed in our community," said S/Sgt Kent MacNeill, acting operations officer for Prince George RCMP.
"We want thieves to think twice before they make a decision to take anything that does not belong to them."
The detachment added that it will continue to use the bait property program.
