A 20-year-old Yorkton woman will spend the next six months under house arrest for her role in the theft of two vintage cars last September.
Jessica Kopan pleaded guilty March 4 to one count of break, enter and theft over $5,000.
Between September 9 and 16, 2014, Kopan and two alleged male co-accused removed a 1976 Dodge Dart and a 1969 Pontiac Firebird from a Quonset approximately 22 kilometres southwest of Yorkton. A trail camera caught the three suspects on video.
Also charged were Darwin Blaze Mogenson, 23, of Watrous; and Blain Gilbert Gaudet, 30, of Melville.
