A man in his 40s has been arrested after he was allegedly spotted unconscious in a stolen car on Wednesday.
The Delta Police Department said concerned citizens reported that two people appeared to be unconscious inside a parked vehicle with "visible drug paraphernalia" around them.
"Prior to the officers' arrival, the occupants regained consciousness and departed the area in the car," police said in a news release Thursday. "Subsequently, officers located the car nearby, conducted a licence plate check, and identified it as reported stolen the day before from New Westminster.
Police arrested both of the vehicle's occupants for possession of stolen property.
The driver — identified as 42-year-old Tony Lawrence with no fixed address — is facing a number of charges. They include one count of possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000, and two counts of failing to comply with a condition of release.
Police said Lawrence remains in custody and the passenger of the vehicle was released without charges.
