Man Jailed Over Stolen Outhouse - Item lifted from Lumby sawmill yard last year



A 55-year-old man, accused of stealing an outhouse from Rouks Sawmill in Lumby, has pleaded guilty to two counts of possession of stolen property over five-thousand dollars. Robert Andel has been sentenced to nine months in jail. The log structure was stolen a year ago and was valued at around 19-hundred dollars. Andel is described as a prolific offender. A court clerk says 20 other stolen property charges have been stayed. The North Okanagan man is expected to face trial next month over a case from January of last year, when a stolen pickup slammed in a Vernon home causing major damage.
