Almost all the furnishings and electronics were removed from the home and the house was ransacked. They are due to appear in court in Oliver Feb. 26. Items worth about the same amount were also stolen in an Osoyoos burglary Jan. 9. Azyan was also involved in the Nov. 30 break-in of another Osoyoos home, Crown counsel Debra Pope said. The vehicle thefts involved a 1987 Oldsmobile 98 which went missing from a garage after the house was broken into.
Police believe the culprits used the car to haul away stolen property.
The car was later found completely destroyed at the Osoyoos landfill. Azyan also admitted his role in stealing a Datsun pickup Oct. 27 and his role in stealing a 1987 Firebird Nov. 30. In addition, Azyan admitted pleading guilty to stealing a cheque from his grandfather earlier in the fall, Pope said. Pope asked Judge Gale Sinclair to impose a 18 to 24 month jail term. She said it is likely Azyan will serve his time in the Kamloops Correctional Centre.
