A cube truck can carry a lot of criminal charges, as one man has discovered after allegedly breaking into a North Vancouver truck rental business and taking one of the vehicles for a four-month joyride.

New Westminster resident Christopher Michael Seymour is facing eight charges in connection with a break-in at the U-Haul rental facility in North Vancouver.

On April 24, Seymour forced open a garage door at the business, took a key from the overnight drop, and used it to drive away with the truck, according to police. The vehicle was recovered after officers allegedly saw Seymour driving it Aug. 18 in Surrey. Seymour is facing one count of break and enter and three counts of possession of stolen property among other charges.
