A Vernon man arrested last week in connection with a string of motor vehicle thefts has been given jail time.
Timothy James Ross, 20, was sentenced in Vernon Provincial Court to 117 days in jail for three counts of theft of motor vehicles.
He was also found guilty of a fourth count of theft of motor vehicle and was sentenced to 45 days in jail. The judge, however, ordered that the term be served concurrent with the other charges.
Ross was also ordered to pay four, $100 victim surcharge amounts and was given 12-months probation upon his release from prison.
A second man was arrested with Ross and is facing a charge of possession of stolen property.
His matter is still before the court and he remains in custody.
