A husband and wife have been convicted and sentenced after Richmond Mounties foiled a stolen toy ring.
Darren and Alyssa John faced a total of 13 theftrelated charges after the RCMP raided their family home last year.
Darren John received a two-year suspended sentence along with a number of conditions including counseling, area restrictions, community service and a victim fine surcharge.
His wife received a 30- month suspended sentence, also with conditions, including an order not to sell items on the Internet that don't belong to her and 15 hours community of service.
Mounties raided their home in the 4700 block of Steveston Highway in October last year and removed a truckload of stolen toys and children's clothing.
The pair had earlier been caught selling the stolen items online to families, predominantly in the Richmond area, through the "Steveston Kid Swap and Shop" Facebook page.
Their arrests led to a flurry of calls to RCMP from worried parents, concerned about being in possession of stolen goods.
