Quesnel RCMP are reminding residents to lock their vehicles and remove valuables after a rash of thefts in less than 24 hours.
Police recorded five separate vehicle thefts in 17 hours between Tuesday night and Wednesday afternoon.
Mounties say they recovered all five vehicles with help from both the Williams Lake detachment and Prince George RCMP.
RCMP arrested nine people in the five stolen vehicles and say there is the potential for more arrests as the investigations continue.
Police say some residents are still leaving keys in their vehicles, making them easy targets.
