Lundstrom apprehended

A man described as “a well-known car thief” who was wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for allegedly breaching the conditions of his release from prison was arrested on suspicion of shoplifting last week in Vancouver.

Joshua Kale Lundstrom, 29, was thought by police to have been in the Sea to Sky corridor last week. However, unbeknownst to Whistler RCMP, Lundstrom had been arrested last Monday, June 22, in Vancouver.

Wright said Lundstrom’s parole officer is recommending that his parole be revoked. He will be in custody for at least 30 days pending the outcome of his National Parole Board hearing, Wright wrote in an email to The Question.
